The primary function of an incident response team is to manage and mitigate the impact of cybersecurity incidents. This team is responsible for identifying, investigating, and responding to security breaches or threats swiftly and effectively. They conduct analyses to understand the scope of incidents, contain damage, and recover compromised systems. Additionally, the team develops and updates incident response plans, ensuring preparedness for future occurrences. By minimizing downtime and data loss, incident response teams play a vital role in preserving organizational integrity and protecting sensitive information.
