CSIRT
Computer security incident response team (CSIRT) is all about managing security aspects of an organization. For any organization security is considered as a prime factor, as it involves lots of data and confidential factors (Killcrece, G. 2003). Hence it is very much essential for the organization to have safe and secured environment in order to keep the operations running. In order to run a safe and secured organization you should have a team who is at their best and focussed at all times. Some of the key skills needed to work for CSIRT are –
·         Should have problem solving skills.
·         They should be willing to perform various analysis to complete the tasks.
·         Should be effective communicators.
·         They should be effective in performing their duties.
·         They should be in a position to train their internal employees.
All the individuals hired by CSRIT should possess more than the basic level of skills, only then they will have a chance to work for CSIRT (Heather Young 2017)… Another interesting point is that all individuals hired should have hands on experience working with CSIRT tools and software’s as this aspect is considered very crucial. If in case CSIRT finds it difficult to find individuals with needed skillset, they kind of collaborate with industry experts to identify the key individuals by training them and getting them ready for the desired level that they need. The relations can range from a formal relation to an informal relation. There are times when the skill set levels of CSIRT can be increased, due to severity in the incidents as they need highly professionals to manage them.
Factors influencing CSIRT decisions–
·         They consider candidates who are in line with mission, vision and goals of CRIRT.
·         Services that need to be adhered at CSIRT.
·         How much experience that staff needs.
·         They consider the base of their technology.
·         Majority they consider all the financial elements.

Part-time CSIRT
Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT) refers to the team that provides services such as detecting, preventing and responding to computer security issues that affect a given group or an organization (Brecht, 2018). The team plays a vital role in keeping an organization safe from security threats and vulnerabilities. In the recent past, data breaches have been costing the business a lot of money. Therefore, it is necessary and instrumental to have a dedicated, skillful and active CSIRT.
One of the skills required for the members of the CSIRT is computer literacy. This means that they must have excellent programming skills. In some cases, technical certifications such as Certified Incident Handler (GCIH) just to prove their technical capabilities. They must have skills in network protocols. This must be coupled with a great ability to effectively document or verbally explain technical details about incidences that a firm faces. On top of this, a member must possess information sharing skills. For instance, the knowledge of how to share well-structured reports that can enhance reliability and accountability within the team.
All members must possess analytical skills to analyze aspects related to data, security logs, and different network and traffic behaviors. Above all, the individuals must have at least 2 years of experience in the field. Some of the factors influencing CSIRT decisions include their level of experience, existing technological resources, cybersecurity laws and policies, and the goals and objectives of the organization. The working environment may also have an impact cybersecurity their decision-making process.
