WHO WE ARE Cyber Incident Response Team

The Cyber Incident Response Team (CIRT) was created in 2017 in response to a substantial increase in cyber-attacks on government and critical infrastructure. CIRT works with its partners in the Critical Infrastructure Unit and the Division of Military and Naval Affairs to provide state-of-the-art services to local governments, non-Executive state agencies, and public authorities. CIRT provides both cyber incident response and proactive cybersecurity services, such as cybersecurity risk assessments and training, at no cost to eligible entities.
