How different will CERT be?: Pradipto Chakrabarty, CompTIA

“We already have a Computer Emergency Response Team (Cert-in) which reports to the Ministry of Electronics and IT. We will have to see how different this team will be from CERT-IN. In my opinion one of the key roles of an ideal Computer Emergency Response Team should be complete focus on threat / vulnerability analytics to prevent security lapses through a team of highly trained professionals on information security defense tactics. Also, it should be a nodal agency for a common repository of breach events so that the entire ecosystem can learn from the best practices. The objective of this team (either new or the existing organization) will be all about analytics and defense.”
