Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT)

A Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) is a group of experts that responds to computer security incidents, such as data breaches or cyberattacks. They assess the situation, provide guidance on how to mitigate damages, and help organizations secure their systems to prevent future issues. CERTs often collaborate with law enforcement and share information about threats and vulnerabilities to enhance overall cybersecurity. They play a critical role in protecting sensitive information and ensuring the safety of computer networks for individuals and businesses alike.
