Techopedia Explains Computer Security Incident Response Team
There are three main groups of services provided by a CSIRT:
- Reactive Services are the main sources of work of a CSIRT where the CSIRT responds to the actual event.
- Proactive Services are actions to prevent incidents from occurring in the future.
- Security Quality Management Services do not involve incidents, but rather include working with IT or other organization departments in which CSIRT members help solidify security systems.
