Ideally, incident response operations are handled by an organization’s Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT). The dedicated team is a group of experts who are primarily responsible for all security operations concerning the prevention and management of cyberattacks. A CSIRT follows their organization’s incident response plan (IRP) that defines their response to security incidents, network events, and confirmed breaches. Typically, the team consists of security analysts, an incident response manager, and threat researchers who collaboratively analyze incident data, review malicious observations and share threat information across the organization.
