It is only by adoptinginvestigation techniques that explicitly identify root causes, ie the reasons why an incident occurred,that organisations may learn from past failures and avoid similar incidents in the future. Root causesanalysis is simply a tool designed to help incident investigators determine what, how and mostimportantly, why an incident occurred.
