Cybersecurity Incident Response Teams (CIRTs)

Cybersecurity Incident Response Teams (CIRTs) are specialized groups within organizations responsible for quickly identifying, managing, and mitigating cyber threats or attacks. When a cyber incident occurs—such as a breach or malware infection—CIRTs analyze the situation, minimize damage, restore systems, and prevent future incidents. They coordinate efforts across technical and organizational teams, ensuring a structured response. Their goal is to protect sensitive data, maintain business continuity, and improve security measures, helping organizations respond effectively to digital threats and reduce potential harm.
