CSIRT and CERT Setup

IT Security Services

As dependency on automated Information Systems has grown so has the threat to Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability of data. Because of increased threats to computer security Government agencies and networked organizations have begun to augment their computer security efforts.
Incidents involving these threats, including computer viruses, malicious user activity, and vulnerabilities associated with high technology, requires a skilled and rapid response before they can cause significant damage.

Space Labs can provide:

Space Lab can help you to setup a Computer Security Incident Response Center (CSIRC) so as to resolve computer security problems. Combined with policies for centralized reporting, SIRC can reduce waste and duplication while providing a better posture against potentially devastating threats.
The CSIRC shall enable the Organization to cater to computer incidents which may include one or more or a combination of the following:

• Compromise of integrity, such as when a virus infects a program or the discovery of a serious system vulnerability
• Denial of service, such as when an attacker has disabled a system or a network worm has saturated network bandwidth
• Misuse, such as when an intruder (or insider) makes unauthorized use of an account; Damage, such as when a virus destroys data
• Intrusions, such as when an intruder penetrates system security.

CSIRT objectives:

• Current efforts will most likely require some revamping.
• Policies for centralized reporting and mechanisms for affecting it will need to be setup.
• Personnel with requisite skills & equipment will need to be dedicated to the effort.
• Other changes in the way in which the agency manages computer security will most likely result.
