Aims

The objective of this initiative by The Netherlands, ITU, OAS, and Microsoft is to provide a platform for members of the Global Forum on Cyber Expertise (GFCE) to help emerging and existing CSIRTS to increase their maturity level.

Context

The project expertise includes the following:

• Making measurement tools available, like a CSIRT maturity quick scan, and a CSIRT maturity model, thus enabling a more objective approach towards maturity, also allowing comparisons and benchmarking in due course;
• best practices, guidelines, template documents that when applied, will improve cybersecurity CSIRT maturity;
• implementation of instruments that provide indirect CSIRT maturity support, e.g. establishing trainings for CSIRT professionals that are directly aimed at increasing the CSIRT maturity level.
