SA NREN CSIRT Update

The SANReN Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT) have been working hard to get the proactive CSIRT services operational. We launched our website, in November.

Currently, we offer vulnerability assessments and announcements services. This includes one free vulnerability scan per institution valid until end September 2017. To make use of this offer, please email the following requested information to csirt@sanren.ac.za.

Over the next 3-6 months, we will be refining our announcements service. Look out for some exciting developments – e.g. customised vulnerability feeds and a CSIRT launch event / follow-up workshop.

We will be working closely with TENET this year to formalise the reactive services and complete the portfolio for CSIRT as well as partner with other (and especially NREN) CSIRTs around the world.

To subscribe to our mailing list (open to customers/beneficiaries of the NREN and supporting organisations), please send an email to csirt-news+subscribe@sanren.ac.za. Reply to the confirmation email and we’ll approve/verify.
