Control Systems Security Program (CSSP)
Industrial Control Systems Cyber Emergency Response Team
The Industrial Control Systems Cyber Emergency Response Team (ICS-CERT) provides a control system security focus in collaboration with US-CERT to
- respond to and analyze control systems related incidents,
- conduct vulnerability and malware analysis,
- provide onsite support for incident response and forensic analysis,
- provide situational awareness in the form of actionable intelligence,
- coordinate the responsible disclosure of vulnerabilities/mitigations, and
- share and coordinate vulnerability information and threat analysis through information products and alerts.
The ICS-CERT serves as a key component of the Strategy for Securing Control Systems, which outlines a long-term, common vision where effective risk management of control systems security can be realized through successful coordination efforts.
