CERT issues updated CSIRT handbook

The 2nd edition of CERT's Handbook for Computer Security Incident Response Teams has just been published. It provides updated guidance on forming and operating a computer security incident response team (CSIRT) and helps an organisation to define and document the nature and scope of a computer security incident handling service. The document explains the functions that make up the service; how those functions interrelate; and the tools, procedures, and roles necessary to implement the service.

The handbook also describes how CSIRTs interact with other organisations and how to handle sensitive information. In addition, operational and technical issues are covered.
