CSIRTUK advisories
When it was formed on 1 February 2007, CPNI absorbed virtually all of the duties of the former National Infrastructure Security Co-ordination Centre (NISCC). Among these was the UNIRAS service, the UK Government Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) that was responsible for receiving, reviewing, and responding to computer security incident reports, providing advisories and related activity. Although the UNIRAS brand has been dropped, CPNI has continued to run a CERT for its partners in the private sector who operate elements of the national infrastructure. This service which advises on how to manage the response to incidents and produces advisories on security matters is called the Combined Security Incident Response Team (CSIRTUK). CSIRTUK advisories are available by using the RSS feed below.
An important part of security risk management is to learn from the experiences of others. Accordingly, via CSIRTUK, CPNI would like to hear about potential security vulnerabilities, incidents or events, whether in the electronic, physical or personnel security spheres from national infrastructure organisations. This information will be treated as confidential, and if necessary, particulars that would identify individuals or organisations will be removed so the information can be incorporated into generic security advice. In this way, valuable experience can be shared to help others.
By enhancing the traditional CERT role to cover holistic advice - covering physical, personnel and electronic issues - CSIRTUK provides a central point for reporting security incidents and for receiving advice and guidance.
