The role of an incident response team in cybersecurity is to manage and mitigate security breaches or threats effectively. This team is responsible for developing incident response plans, conducting investigations, and implementing corrective measures upon detecting an incident. Their goal is to minimize damage, recover systems, and restore normal operations as quickly as possible. Additionally, the team conducts post-incident analysis to improve future responses and enhance overall security posture. Their proactive and reactive measures are critical to protecting organizational assets and maintaining business continuity.
