DHS OIG: U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team Makes Progress in Securing Cyberspace, but Challenges Remain

U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team Makes Progress in Securing Cyberspace, but Challenges Remain, OIG-10-94, June 2010

  • “This report addresses the U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team’s (US-CERT) efforts to coordinate national cyber analyses and warnings against and response to attacks within the nation’s critical infrastructure…US-CERT is hindered in its ability to provide an effective analysis and warning program for the federal government in a number of ways. Specifically, US-CERT does not have the appropriate enforcement authority to help mitigate security incidents. Additionally, it is not sufficiently staffed to perform its mission. Further, US-CERT has not finalized performance measures and policies and procedures related to cybersecurity efforts.”
