CSIRTeaming: Forging Resilient Incident Management Teams with Psychological Safety
summary
Proposes CSIRTeaming: a concrete model that combines High Reliability Organization practices and psychological safety to stop repeat incidents by fixing team structure rather than only tech. Names three recurring failure modes—ignored minor incidents, stalled organizational learning, and siloed teams—and shows fixes: revise reporting rules (one client hid repeat events until regs changed), run blameless retrospectives, enforce rotation and debriefs, span messengers across org boundaries, and adopt preoccupation with failure.
