Many organizations have a computer security incident response team (CSIRT), gaining much consideration. The team is responsible for dealing with the increasing number and complexity of cyber threats.
The security operation center (SOC) and CSIRT are entirely different. A SOC is a group of tools that defends networks, servers, and other IT structures. A CSIRT is a multi-functional team that works together to respond to any security incidents. In this team, some members are available, while others are called as needed.
In contrast to a SOC, the responses provided by an incident response team go beyond the technical actions taken to rectify any incident. It consists of recommending changes to systems or organizational practices to offer protection against future incidents.
It includes non-technical responsibilities like managing internal communications, status reporting, and helping counsel. It efficiently handles personnel issues when an incident happens due to inside actions.
