Initiatives for
As the national authority for Cybersecurity the CCB has developed several initiatives for specific publics which are presented here.
The Cyber Threat Research & Intelligence Sharing (CyTRIS) department provides various services. CyTRIS is responsible for initial contact with organisations reporting an incident to the CCB. It monitors various sources daily, collects and collates information that may be useful to warn potential victims, and does in-depth CTI analysis and strategic reporting. CyTRIS also sends spear warnings (individual messages) to organisations that have a particular vulnerability detected on its IT infrastructure, has been compromised with malware, or whose stolen login credentials have been found. CyTRIS organises webinars on a regular basis.
