CERT (Computer Emergency Response Team)
CERT (Computer Emergency Response Team) is a specialized team that responds to computer security incidents to detect, analyze and counter cyberattacks.
In addition to providing alerts and advice, CERT helps strengthen system security and improve organizations' security posture to prevent future threats.
CERT vs CSIRT vs SOC: what's the difference?
The concepts of CERT, CSIRT and SOC are often associated with the response to computer attacks, but they are distinguished by their specific roles:
CERT
Computer Emergency Response Team: Usually operates on a large scale, often at national or sectoral level, focusing on managing cybersecurity incidents and thinking proactively to prevent cyberattacks. It stands out for its strategic and comprehensive prevention approach.
CSIRT
Computer Security Incident Response Team:Operates within organizations, with a focus on incident response to limit damage. More focused than CERT, it aims to react quickly and effectively to security incidents, in order to minimize their impact.
SOC
Security Operations Center : As the center of continuous monitoring of security incidents for a specific organization, the SOC monitors threats in real time, using advanced technologies to detect, analyze and respond to threats before they become major incidents. The SOC is often the first line of operational defense.
CERT tools and solutions
Patrowl is a cybersecurity threat detection and management platform that can provide significant support to CERTs and security managers.
Automated vulnerability detection: Performs automated scans and pentests to identify vulnerabilities in systems, networks and applications.
Risk analysis and prioritization: Evaluates the potential impact of vulnerabilities and prioritizes threats according to their criticality.
Compliance: Verify cybersecurity standards (e.g. NIS2, DORA) and generate 1-click security reports, facilitating audits.
Orchestration & management: Multi-tenant platform, enabling remediation actions (alerts, notifications, etc.) to be coordinated.
