Program focuses on security response
The Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) Coordination Center, a security-incident clearinghouse, introduced on Monday a program to certify information technology professionals in incident handling and response.

The certification program will train participants in how to react to security incidents and network intrusions. Those people who take five courses, including an elective, and pass a test administered by the Software Engineering Institute will be granted a Certified Computer Security Incident Handler Certification (CCSIHC). The Software Engineering Institute is part of Carnegie Mellon University and manages the CERT Coordination Center.
