There exist various theories concerning managing employees during a crisis scenario. Nevertheless, security incident response tactics should be viewed as a unique application of contingency management theory that can be coupled with sound risk management practices to enable appropriate situational resolution. Contingency management practitioners assume finding and applying relevant available resources suitable for a circumstantial answer to a managerial concern will render the appropriate solution to an incident.
