Incident Response Team (IRT)

An Incident Response Team (IRT) is a specialized group within an organization tasked with handling security threats or cyberattacks. When a security incident occurs, such as a hacking attempt or data breach, the IRT quickly investigates, contains, and mitigates the damage. Their goal is to minimize disruption, restore normal operations, and prevent future incidents. The team typically includes experts in IT, cybersecurity, and communications who work together to respond efficiently and keep the organization's information and systems safe.
