We can create <mark style="color:blue;">**Incident Categories**</mark> to better organize and classify incidents based on their nature. Each incident category would typically consist of the following fields:

1. <mark style="color:blue;">**Name**</mark><mark style="color:blue;">:</mark>-The title or label for the incident category (e.g., "Data Breach", "System Outage", "Security Vulnerability").
2. <mark style="color:blue;">**Description**</mark>:-A detailed explanation of what types of incidents fall under this category and how they should be handled (e.g., "Data Breach: An incident where sensitive or confidential information is accessed or exposed by unauthorized individuals.").
