Finite Capabilities of Cybersecurity Technologies

Abstract

In November 1988, the first computer security response center, CERT (Computer Emergency Response Team), was established at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA. At present, around 300 CERT/CSIRT centers around the world have been established at various commercial, state, and educational organizations. These centers’ relevance owes to the necessity for timely and high-quality delivery of professional services to diverse state and commercial organizations for the prevention, detection, and response to cybersecurity incidents. This chapter will give the evolutionary development of CERTs from local to global solutions, implying the construction of an extensive national network of such centers while simultaneously clarifying the peculiarities of creating a promising “cloud” center for responding to security incidents within the national state program “Information-Oriented Society (2011–2020).”
