Real World Scenario:
Cloud Configuration Violation

Scenario: An engineer accidentally exposes an S3 bucket to the public.

Violation goes unnoticed for days → Compliance team manually finds it → Manual email chain → Engineer fixes when they see email → Compliance re-checks manually → Manual evidence collection

Total time: 3-5 days

What happens with RICC:

RICC detects within seconds → Playbook triggers → Auto-creates Jira ticket → Auto-assigns to engineer → Auto-verifies fix → Auto-documents everything

Total time: Under 1 hour
