What is the connection between the CERT and other groups with “CERT” in their name?
There is only one CERT Program and one CERT Coordination Center; there are no branches or alternate locations. Computer security incident response teams with “CERT” in their name are independent of us, though we might at times coordinate with them on computer security issues. Many of the teams are members of the Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST), of which the CERT/CC is a founding member. Our relationship with US-CERT is more fully explained in a separate FAQ.
