Q.1) What is CERT and what are goals of CERT?

Ans.) CERT (Computer Emergency Readiness Team)

CERT (pronounced SUHRT ), officially called the CERT Coordination
Center, is the Internet's official emergency team. CERT (which stands
for "Computer Emergency Readiness Team") was formed by the
Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency ( DARPA ) in November
1988 after the Internet was assaulted in the Internet worm incident.
Today, CERT focuses on security breach and denial-of-service incidents,
providing alerts and incident-handling and avoidance guidelines. CERT
also conducts an ongoing public awareness campaign and engages in
research aimed at improving security systems.
