CERT recognizes the unique issues facing CSIRTs with national
responsibility. It is important to provide a mechanism for cooperation
and collaboration to solve many of the issues we share in common. We
believe that information sharing is not sufficient to overcome these
threats and hope to foster relationships and collaborate on solutions
to the problems.
As part of those efforts, we have created some tools for authorized
technical staff at national CSIRTs. These tools, including a
collaborative website and a mailing list, will allow users to exchange
information about technical projects and other relevant work. If you
would like more information, email cert@cert.org.
We look forward to your participation and feedback to make these
resources successful.
