CERT Signs Up For Symantec's Threat Network Data

Personally, I would have recommended DShield or my|NetWatchman, but whatever.

Gregg Keiser writes in a TechWeb News article that:

Symantec on Wednesday added the Department of Homeland Security's US-CERT -- the U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team -- to its customer list for its DeepSight threat alert and management system.

Homeland's Information Analysis and Infrastructure Protection Directorate (IAIP) inked the deal with Symantec to add the Cupertino, Calif.-based company's data -- acquired in large part from its global network of some 20,000 sensors deployed in 180 countries -- to the information already collected and analyzed by the federal agency, which is tasked with the chore of improving computer security preparedness and responding to cyber attacks in the U. S.
