Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) Attacks: How to Prevent It with Cosmikal Endurance
7 de October de 2024Some international regulations, such as the GDPR and NIS2 at the European level or HIPAA in the United States, require the implementation of measures for cybersecurity incident management in organizations and companies.
To this end, various specialized teams are established, such as CERT (Computer Emergency Response Team), CSIRT (Computer Security Incident Response Team), and PSIRT (Product Security Incident Response Team).
Each of these teams brings a unique set of skills and specialized knowledge related to information security within companies:
CSIRT (Computer Security Incident Response Team): This discipline focuses on resolving incidents through coordination, analysis, or incident resolution. In Spain, csirt.es serves as a platform that brings together CSIRT/CERT security incident response teams. Another key international organization is first.org.
The team that works in this discipline is typically the CERT (Computer Emergency Response Team). This is a group of people focused on the prevention, detection, and effective response to security incidents. They also coordinate incident responses and provide specialized assistance. These teams exist in both public and private sectors.
PSIRT (Product Security Incident Response Team): Specialized in product security, particularly in companies that develop software or hardware. It manages vulnerabilities and security issues specific to the company’s products.
Key insights in incident management
The importance of these teams in regulations and incident management can be understood from several key perspectives, always within the framework of the European NIS2 directive:
1. Rapid incident response: CERT, CSIRT, and PSIRT teams are highly trained in detecting and managing emergency situations. This includes the identification, containment, eradication, and recovery from security incidents, minimizing the impact on the organization.
2. Proactivity and prevention: In addition to responding to incidents, these teams play a proactive role in preventing future incidents. They analyze emerging threats, develop mitigation strategies, and educate the organization on best security practices.
4. Post-incident investigation and analysis: After an incident, these teams conduct a forensic analysis to understand how the attack occurred, what vulnerabilities were exploited, and how to improve future defenses. This analysis is crucial for learning and continuous security improvement.
