oCERT.org - Open Source CERT

[Carlos Macedo Gomes]

Hi,

Haven't seen this come through the list yet and seems to fit some of
the security discussions at last week's East Side mtg:
"Security Pros Launch Open-Source CERT"
"The idea is to mimic the CERT security incident response teams around
the world by offering help to both large infrastructures and smaller
projects that can't afford a full-blown security team. The goal,
Barisani said, is to reduce the impact of compromises on small
projects with little or no infrastructure security and, more
importantly, avoid the ripple effect of badly communicated or poorly
handled compromises.
...
oCERT has already put together a high-profile team that includes Tavis
Ormandy and Will Drewry from the Google Security Team; Barisani and
Rob Holland from Inverse Path and Marcel Holtmann from Intel. Solar
Designer from Openwall and Dragos Ruiu from the SecWest security
conferences form part of the organization's advisory board."
