Subject: RE: [emergency] Cyber Security Alerts from US-CERT


The US CERT is a reconfiguration of the CMU/CERT cc--US government
relationship.

The formatting and architecture of cyber incident reporting has direct
significance 
in view of the regulatory framework for industry-DHS incident information
sharing,
a process for which the ISACs have lead responsibility on behalf of critical
infrastructure
sectors, and for which Title II of the HSAct (Critical Infrastructure
Information Act) and yet-to-be-finalized DHS regs have been developed with
significant industry input.

This context suggests to me the appropriateness of including these interests
in any
discussion of this issue in the TC Emergency venue.

DHS NCSD has the lead in architecting the US CERT.

 Allen,
I believe we should talk with them to ascertain whether to incorporate
the CERT Alerts into CAP format. 

At some point in time CAP may need to be broken into a base and volumes
configuration to support a varying intended audience. CERT is intended
to notify the IT security groups and others interested in that
particular type of information. With a separate volume changes may be
made without impacting the base (core) or other volumes. This approach
makes change management and risk & impact analysis much easier. Just
some thoughts to mull over.


Regards,

For those of you in the public sector, thoughts on approaching this
group and making alerts available in CAP format?
