Hi everyone,
I've recently been tasked with helping to establish a Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT) for our organization, and I'm trying to get a better understanding of the ideal structure and roles needed for an effective team.
I'm wondering if anyone could share insights into the essential roles within a CSIRT and how responsibilities are typically divided. Specifically, I'd like to know:
- What are the key positions or roles within a CSIRT?
- Are there any best practices for reporting lines and communication within the team?
- How do you balance having specialized roles versus cross-training team members to handle multiple aspects of incident response?
- What kind of skill sets or experience should we prioritize when building the team?
Additionally, any advice on how to scale this team as the organization grows would be greatly appreciated. I'm interested in hearing about your experiences and any resources that you found helpful.
Thanks in advance for your insights!
