Problem

Scenario

You are responding to a critical security incident that is actively affecting a production system, and senior leaders are asking for frequent updates while the technical picture is still changing. You need to contain the issue, coordinate the response, and keep stakeholders informed without creating panic or overcommitting before facts are confirmed.

Question

Tell me about a time you had to manage a critical incident while keeping stakeholders calm.
