CESNET CSIRT


The aim of CESNET CSIRT activity is to achieve an enhanced internal organization in the area of security of the CESNET2 network and services run on it. Preventive and active protection of computers and networks comprises consistent and efficient security incident handling, including addressing both their causes and consequences. Our goal is to prepare our CESNET2 users and administrators for possible network security breaches and to provide them with functional procedures, rules and technical resources enabling them to solve any incident as fast as possible.

Another task is to run and develop the CESNET-CERTS security team and the tools which the team is using – OTRS to report and solve security incidents (“incident handling”), Intrusion Detection System (IDS) and the Audit system to check security of network services.

The CESNET-CERTS security team which was established in 2004 is the only “accredited” CSIRT team in the Czech Republic. This means that we have a global commitment – more and more often, other security teams turn to CESNET-CERTS and seek help in addressing severe security incidents which have occurred in ISP networks operating in the Czech Republic. This is why CESNET-CERTS puts emphasis on building up relations which foreign security teams, for instance through activities of TERENA (Trans European Research and Education Networking Association) and FIRST (Forum for Incident Response and Security Teams).
