Dear All, As you may be aware, each day multiple system and application security vulnerabilities are discovered. In some instances, these vulnerabilities are as a result of exploits identified by Security Response Teams and others after incidents have occurred. The most critical aspects of security is the dissemination of information relating to security threats and vulnerabilities. Efficient and effective dissemination of this information limits and controls the propagation of damages associated with the vulnerabilities. Hereto, KENIC with the support of the local Internet community has undertaken a project to establish a local Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT). Its initial objective will be to relay Computer and Network related security threats and vulnerabilities to the local Internet community. A weekly compilation of recorded activities from external sources will be sent to members of the Kenyan CSIRT mailing list. To subscribe to the mailing lists please visit www.csirt.or.ke and join the security-bulletin for the weekly summary. For notifications on incidents, subscribe to the security-alerts. As CSIRT develops its technical capacity, advanced research and support will be provided in future relating to computer and network security. The community can now benefit by monitoring only one list for all security information. Further, Service providers will have a formated email that they can forward to their subscribers. This being the initial stages, we look forward to input and suggestions from the community on ways of improving the CSIRT operations. Best regards, -- Michuki Mwangi KENIC
