Customer Engagements > Security

SEI services in this area involve protection, detection, and response to attacks on networked systems. These security services include training, research, and direct support based on our experience operating the CERT® Coordination Center--the nation's first and best-known computer security incident response team--since 1988.

Establishing an incident response capability

The SEI helps organizations establish computer security incident response teams (CSIRTs) through a variety of training products, best practices, and tools that can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of the CSIRT.

Implementing tools and methods for survivable systems

The SEI can help organizations implement tools and methods for improving the survivability of networked systems, including OCTAVE, V-RATE, SQUARE, and FSQ.

Virtual Network Audit

Virtual Network Audit (VNA) is a scenario-based testbed for training personnel to perform information assurance audits. VNA simulates a functioning network offering internal services and an external Internet (Web, email) presence, and includes a realistic scenario describing the purpose, location, and topology of the network and profiles of administrative personnel. The network and scenario contain a number of vulnerabilities or failures. Auditors must discover weaknesses and risks and develop a plan to bring the network into compliance with commonly accepted best practices. VNA can be customized in a number of ways, and can be tailored to specific scenarios.
