CERT to sell security threat information | Computerworld News & Features Story
CERT had previously supplied its early warning information only to the Defense Department and the General Services Administration, but under the new plan, it will offer those alerts, usually 45 days before they are released to the public, to companies that are members of the alliance, said a CERT spokesman. The center had provided its early warnings only to the government because it's a government-funded organization and to avoid releasing inflammatory or inaccurate information, a spokesman said.
