Accessing Security Incident Information on the Internet

ABSTRACT

Computer security Incident Response teams have emerged due to the increase of computer crime. These can be national, international or organization based. Maintaining a CSIRT poses a number of problems. In this paper the authors describe two of the technical problems that CSIRT’s have, the storage and the acquisition of incident data. The paper describes a system based on the CORBA model that can be used for the efficient management of the incident recording database. The proposal also provides for alternative ways of accessing the database by companies and security analysts.
