The CERT Coordination Center is part of the Software Engineering Institute at Carnegie Mellon University. Its primary function is to work with industry to identify and eliminate Internet security vulnerabilities. Additionally, the center analyzes business and personal software to find potentially dangerous flaws that could compromise the system, meaning that both corporate and home users can benefit from the information offered on the Web site. There are continual updates of security advisories, survivability guides, and fixes that can help prevent disasters or speed recovery from them. Step-by-step suggestions make finding and implementing an efficient security practice reasonably painless.
