The OIC Computer Emergency Response Team (Arabic: فريق منظمة التعاون الإسلامي للاستجابة لحالات الطوارئ الحاسوبية; French: Équipe d'intervention d'urgence informatique de l'OCI), commonly known as OIC-CERT, is a computer emergency response team and one of the 17 affiliated organs of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation. Focused on global cybersecurity in the 27 member and non-member states, it is considered the world's third-largest computer emergency response team coordinated by the 27 countries. The OIC-CERT is primarily focused on providing emergency support in cyber resilience with global collaboration with its associated members and information security organizations. It also encourages member states to implement cybersecurity policies by their respective CERTs.[1]

Its membership is sponsored by the UAE Computer Emergency Response Team (aeCERT). OIC-CERT maintains a global information and communications technology ecosystem and assisted nations in preventing cyberattack challenges.[1]
