Profile

AusCERT is the national Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) for Australia and a leading CERT in the Asia/Pacific region.

As the national CERT, we are the primary Australian contact for dealing with Internet security threats and vulnerabilities affecting Australian interests. We operate within a worldwide network of information security experts and provide computer incident prevention, response and mitigation strategies for members and assistance to affected parties in Australia.

We operate the Australian government funded Stay Smart Online Alert Service, which is a part of the broader Stay Smart Online government initiative.
