Crisis Response Execution
const crisisResponse = {
incident: {
id: 'INC-2026-001',
type: 'data-breach',
detectedAt: '2026-02-15T14:30:00Z',
severity: 'tier1',
status: 'active'
},
actions: [
{ time: '14:30', action: 'Alert triggered', owner: 'system' },
{ time: '14:32', action: 'Crisis team notified', owner: 'system' },
{ time: '14:45', action: 'War room activated', owner: 'CCO' },
