In cyberspace, the threat isn’t just the code, it’s the mind behind the keyboard

- Jester, Top Gun (imaginary character)

This document outlines a creative strategy for assigning incident response (IR) team call signs inspired by the movie “Top Gun.” The core idea is to generate randomly selected “Top Gun”-themed aliases for personnel responding to an incident, such as “IR-25001,” to be used in “edge communications channels.” It provides an example of how this would be applied to various roles, from the CEO to a technician, demonstrating the “Top SOC Callsign naming strategy.” Furthermore, the text includes a list of well-known “Top Gun” characters and the actors who played them, serving as a reference for the thematic call signs.
Here is a list of Top Gun-themed IR team callsigns for the personnel responding to IR-25001, a goose farm supply chain compromise, to use in edge communications channels:
