Definitions:
Automated—The detection system performs incident detection, data gathering,
and data analysis, then presents findings and recommendations for resolution to a
person who authorizes the system to execute a resolution process.
Automatic—The detection system performs incident detection, data gathering,
and data analysis, and at least an initial attempt at resolution, before presenting
the outcome to a person who closes the case. Case closure may be performed by
the system if successful outcome can be verified.
