The frontline team provides global 24x7 security operations and monitoring for cybersecurity events impacting Experian and is a division of Experian’s Cyber Fusion Center (CFC) which is organized under the Experian Global Security Office (EGSO). It acts as the first line of defense in Experian's broader incident response and incident management functions and is responsible for receiving, triaging, and prioritizing cybersecurity alerts, including being the dedicated point of contact for potential security incidents reported by users (e.g., Experian employees). Depending on the results of triage, this team is then responsible for investigating, containing, eradicating, and recovering from events falling in its purview or escalating higher-risk events to dedicated incident response and management teams in the CFC as necessary.
