CERT in the organisation
2006
This Expert Letter deals with the increasingly important phenomenon
of in-house Computer Emergency Response Teams (CERTs). The
number of internal CERTs in larger, commercial organisations has
increased rapidly in the past few years. This is mainly in response to
the painful security incidents that have taken place during the past few
years on Internet and which have been observed in the minutest detail
by millions. Issues concerning necessary competencies, procedures to
be followed, the availability and the tools to be used affix themselves to
CERT within an organisation. But the greatest challenge appears to lie
in the relationship with the existing IT organisation, both in terms of
division of tasks and responsibilities and mandate. The ultimate
question to be answered is that of the life cycle: will CERTs always be
needed or will they eventually be absorbed by the existing IT
organisation. In other words: will CERT ultimately make itself
redundant?
