The primary aim of an incident response team in cybersecurity is to identify, respond to, and recover from security incidents effectively. This specialized team prepares for potential threats by developing and implementing response plans and conducting drills to simulate incidents. When an incident occurs, the team analyzes the breach, assesses damage, mitigates risks, and communicates necessary information to stakeholders. Their prompt response not only protects sensitive data but also helps maintain the organization’s reputation and trust with customers.
