The United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT) is an organization within the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) National Protection and Programs Directorate (NPPD). Specifically, US-CERT is a branch of the Office of Cybersecurity and Communications' (CS&C) National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center (NCCIC).〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.dhs.gov/about-national-cybersecurity-communications-integration-center )〕 US-CERT is responsible for analyzing and reducing cyber threats, vulnerabilities, disseminating cyber threat warning information, and coordinating incident response activities.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.us-cert.gov/sites/default/files/publications/infosheet_US-CERT_v2.pdf )〕 The division brings advanced network and digital media analysis expertise to bear on malicious activity targeting the networks within the United States and abroad. ==Background== DHS’ cyber security division created US-CERT in September 2003 to protect the Internet infrastructure of the United States by coordinating defense against and responding to cyber-attacks. It is the 24-hour operational arm of the NCCIC which accepts, triages, and collaboratively responds to incidents, provides technical assistance to information system operators, and disseminates timely notifications regarding current and potential security threats, exploits, and vulnerabilities to the public via its National Cyber Awareness System (NCAS).〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.us-cert.gov/about-us )〕 US-CERT operates side-by-side with the Industrial Control Systems Cyber Emergency Response Team (ICS-CERT) which deals with security related to industrial control systems. Both entities operate together within NCCIC to provide a single source of support to critical infrastructure stakeholders.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://ics-cert.us-cert.gov/More-Information-about-Industrial-Control-Systems-Cyber-Emergency-Response-Team )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
