Incident response teams

Incident Response Teams (IRTs) are specialized groups that handle unexpected problems, particularly in cybersecurity and emergency situations. When a security breach, data loss, or disaster occurs, these teams quickly assess the situation, contain the threat, and minimize damage. They investigate what happened, prevent future incidents, and communicate with stakeholders to ensure everyone understands the response. Essentially, IRTs act as the organized responders who tackle crises efficiently, ensuring that organizations can recover and learn from the experience to strengthen their defenses moving forward.
