CERT (Computer Emergency Readiness Team)

CERT, or Computer Emergency Readiness Team, is a group of experts that responds to cybersecurity incidents and helps organizations protect their computer systems and data. They offer guidance on preventing cyber threats, share information about vulnerabilities, and assist during security breaches to minimize damage. CERT teams may operate at a national level, focusing on critical infrastructure, or serve specific industries. Their goal is to enhance overall cybersecurity awareness, improve incident response, and foster collaboration among organizations to better withstand cyber threats.
