CERT (Computer Emergency Response Team)

A Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) is a specialized group that helps organizations deal with cybersecurity incidents like data breaches or cyberattacks. They provide expertise in identifying threats, assessing damage, and responding effectively to minimize harm. CERTs also educate organizations about security best practices to prevent future incidents. By monitoring trends in cyber threats, they contribute to a safer online environment, making them essential in protecting sensitive information and maintaining trust in digital systems. Essentially, CERTs are like a first-aid team for cybersecurity emergencies.
