CIRT

Computer Incident Response Team

CIRT is another common name for the internal team that investigates and responds to security incidents, essentially synonymous with CSIRT. Organizations pick one label, but the mission is the same: contain the damage, restore operations, and learn from what happened. Knowing the term matters because job postings, policies, and frameworks use these names interchangeably.
