CSIRT Basics for Policy-makers

Résumé du livre

In this paper, we examine the history, types, and culture of Computer Security Incident Response Teams (CSIRTs). Some CSIRT practitioners and policy-makers have differing views of what a national CSIRT should be, how it should operate, where it should be situated, and how it should relate to the rest of the computer security incident response network within its country. This brief is intended to provide a short history and overview of the culture of CSIRTs in order to help build a common understanding before examining some of the critical issues in greater depth in the subsequent publications.
