5. Services

5.1 Incident response

CSIRT Inter will provide assistance to other teams in handling the technical and organizational aspects of incidents.

5.1.1. Incident triage

CSIRT Inter will help to validate the incident, as well as to assess it and prioritise it.

5.1.2. Incident coordination

CSIRT Inter encourages all teams to directly contact the most specific CSIRT or security team as possible.

CSIRT Inter will then:

• Determine if all involved organizations where contacted and if any additional contact needs to be made;
• Facilitate contact to other parties which can help resolve the incident;
• If any help is needed, it will contact the involved organizations to help them to take the appropriate steps.

The most valuable service we can provide is to act as an information hub, which knows where to send the right incident reports to in order to help and facilitate the resolution of security incidents.

Due to staffing levels we can not guarantee we can reply to all incident reports received. If the report was already sent to the best possible contacts, CSIRT Inter will record the incident for statistical purposes, but it might not send any reply. If you haven't received any feedback to a report and need any action by CSIRT Inter staff, please contact us again, clearly stating the type of help needed.

Auto-generated reports and data-feeds will be handled as automatically as possible.

5.1.3. Incident resolution

As CSIRT Inter is a coordinating team, this means we do not have any authority to enforce the request of takedowns, shutdowns or any other specific action. To the best of our ability we will:

• Advise local security teams and system administrator on appropriate actions;
• Identify any new type of incident that could require the dissemination of best practices for prevention of future incidents;

5.2 Proactive activities

CSIRT Inter has several activities which aim to help our constituency to prevent as well as better handle computer security incidents:

• Raise security awareness in its constituency;
• Provide formal training in incident management;
