EGI CSIRT
Computer Security Incident Response Team
MISSION
EGI CSIRT coordinates operational security activities within the EGI Infrastructure to deliver a secure and stable infrastructure, giving scientists and researchers the protection and confidence they require to safely and effectively carry out their research.
CONTACTS
To report a security incident:
- EGI data centres: follow SEC01 and report an incident
- Everyone else: abuse@egi.eu
To report a software vulnerability:

WHAT WE DO

TRAININGS
Keeping the EGI infrastructure secure requires an understanding of attack and defense techniques that goes beyond the average skill set of system administrators. Security training is vital to guarantee that local teams are able to use available information for a complete incident response. EGI CSIRT has a diverse catalogue of training modules, developed by the team or by partner institutions.
