ICT risk alert
GOVCERT.NL constantly monitors hundreds of sources and activities on the
internet. As a result we acquire more insight into current threats.
Based on these activities GOVCERT.NL issues timely warnings on threats, such as
vulnerabilities of software, outbreaks of viruses and targeted attacks.
Tailored warnings
Constituents of GOVCERT.NL receive tailored alerts that are geared toward
their specific ICT environmentand the products they use.
Constituents can be assured that they shall always be informed about relevant
threats in a timely manner. The warnings also contain, if possible, practical
advice on how to limit the risks associated with the threat.
Examples
- Constant monitoring of vulnerabilities in ICT products that are used by government organisations and end users. Currently this concerns more than 100 products.
- Participants receive warnings that are geared toward the ICT products that they use. In case of major risks this occurs via the telephone.
- Computer users receive warnings about vulnerabilities in commonly used software.
