Describe an incident response.

What will be an ideal response?

Incident response encompasses the actions an organization takes when an intrusion is detected. These actions seek to limit the loss from an intrusion and return operations to a normal state as rapidly as possible. Incident management activities also finalize the restoration of operations to a normal state and seek to identify the source and method of the intrusion in order to ensure that the same type of attack cannot occur again - thus, reinitiating intrusion prevention.
