3. Charter
3.1 Mission Statement
    The purposes of GARR-CERT are:
        - to assist the users of the GARR Networkin implementing
          proactive measures to reduce the risk of computer security
          incidents;
        - to assist the users of the GARR network in responding to such
          incidents when they occur.
3.2 Constituency
    The GARR-CERT constituency is the community of the users of the GARR
    Network, the Italian Academic and Research Network.
3.3 Sponsorship
    GARR-CERT is an operative service of the GARR Consortium.
3.4 Authority
    GARR-CERT operates under the auspices of the GARR members and the
    supervision of the GARR Consortium management.
    In case of missing support from the local APM, it has authority to
    obtain from GARR NOC the filtering of the involved node(s) on the
    GARR network border routers.
4. Policies
4.1 Types of Incidents and Level of Support
    GARR-CERT is authorized to address all types of computer security
    incidents that occur at nodes connected to the GARR network.
    The level of support given by GARR-CERT will vary according to the
    severity of the incident and the GARR-CERT's resources at the time.

    Every effort will be done to give some response within one working
    day.
    No direct support will be given to end-users, as they are expected
    to contact their system administrators.
    GARR-CERT expects that the APM of the sites involved in security
    incidents will cooperate in the resolution of the problem.
    The incident handling procedure, which, in extreme cases, will lead
    to filtering the compromised node(s) on the GARR network border
    routers can be found at:

        https://www.cert.garr.it/en/incidents-management/management-procedure
    GARR-CERT is committed to keeping its constituency informed of
    potential vulnerabilities, possibly before they are actively
    exploited.
4.2 Co-operation, Interaction and Disclosure of Information
    GARR-CERT, unless explicitly authorized, will not divulge the
    identity of nodes victims of computer security incidents.
4.3 Communication and Authentication
    Telephone and unencrypted e-mail are considered sufficient for the
    transmission of low-sensitivity data.

    If it is necessary to send high sensitivity data by e-mail, PGP will
    be used.

    Network file transfers will be considered similar to e-mail for
    these purposes.
5. Services
5.1 Incident Response
    GARR-CERT will help system administrators of nodes connected to the
    GARR network in handling computer security incidents.

    In particular:
        - investigating the nature and extent of the incident;
        - determining the initial cause (e.g. vulnerability exploited);
        - keeping contacts with other sites involved;
        - reporting to other CSIRTs;
        - helping in removing the vulnerability.
    To make use of GARR-CERT's incident response services, please use
    the methods listed in Section 2.10.
5.2 Proactive Activities
    GARR-CERT coordinates and maintains the following services to the
    extent possible depending on its resources:
        - mailing lists.
        - auditing services;
        - dissemination of information about vulnerabilities and
          recommended security measures;
        - testing and developing security tools.
6. Incident Reporting Forms
    If possible, use the following form to report a security incident:
        https://www.cert.garr.it/en/incidents-management/reports-accidents
