CIS 359: Disaster Recovery Management




US-CERT Roles

US CERT’s role in protecting the nation’s industrial systems analyze its efforts in

relation to preparedness and incident and recovery management by taking part in regional,

national, and international level exercises, dynamic and static analysis is supplied by behavioral

techniques, supply government agencies with recovery support plus malware analytics, help

recursive analysis on artifacts through forensic investigations, runs the collection program and

malicious code submission and collection, helps with federal law enforcement investigations,

and cooperates international and domestic computer security incident response teams. US-CERT

means United States Computer Emergency Team. US-CERT is a team within the Department of

Homeland security charged with protecting the nation's Internet infrastructure by coordinating

defense against and response from cyber-attacks. US-CERT states, "Natural disasters like the

recent hurricanes in the southern US and the Caribbean can bring out the best in people,

prompting them to whatever they can to serve communities in need. However, these same

disasters also provide a breeding ground for scammers. It pays to mitigate you and your

customers' cyber risks, and the United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT)

offers some tips for guarding against phishing scams and malware campaigns." (US-CERT, 1, p.

1). The author explains how US-CERT comes to the rescue in times of a natural disaster, but

these are the times that scammers, hackers, and cybercriminals like to take advantage of. During

these times, these cybercriminals can enter the system with no problems when there is no one to

stop them. This is where US-CERT comes in, they weather the storm with their policies and

, procedures to prevent cybercriminals from stealing important information, money, or planting

malware, spyware, and viruses.




ICS CERT & Stuxnet

ICS CERT means Industrial Control Systems Cyber Emergency Response Team and their

job is to provide security for the control system, perform analysis, help with an incident response

while running forensic analysis, and to promote technological preparedness and awareness. ICS

CERT eliminates assaults and attacks on a system. Hoske states, “ICS CERT helps mitigate cyber

risk in control systems and embedded systems including vendor testing, onsite assessments, and

training. Gray said the organization provides a mechanism for organizations to share knowledge

about cybersecurity risk without being identified and provides recommendations and training

based on that knowledge.” (Hoske, 2, p. DE 2). The authors explain how ICS CERT provides

mitigation for cyber control and embedded systems. They are remarkably like US-CERT, but

they are also different. The author of “When Stuxnet Hit the Homeland: Government Response

to the Rescue,” explained how ICS CERT and their community have always protected

infrastructure assets from those who would abuse them. Stuxnet was a tool that was used and

created for the sole purpose of war with Iran. But the object is to learn from your enemies. ICS

CERT had procedures and strategies to enlarge their organizational information. For example,

when the worm was found on engineering workstations analysis and research were done to see

who could be capable of creating the issue, ICS CERT sent out response teams to deal with the

issue onsite.
