International Computer Security Association. ICSA Labs (International Computer Security Association) began as NCSA (National Computer Security Association).

International Computer Security Association

Its mission was to increase awareness of the need for computer security and to provide education about various security products and technologies. In its early days, NCSA focused almost solely on the certification of anti-virus software. Using the Consortia model, NCSA worked together with anti-virus software vendors to develop one of the first anti-virus software certification schemes. Over the past decade, the organization added certification programs for other security-related products, and changed its name to ICSA. Patch Tuesday. Da Wikipedia, l'enciclopedia libera.

CERT

I CERT sono organizzazioni, finanziate generalmente da Università o Enti Governativi, incaricate di raccogliere le segnalazioni di incidenti informatici e potenziali vulnerabilità nei software che provengono dalla comunità degli utenti. Significato del nome[modifica | modifica sorgente] L'acronimo inglese CERT sta per "Computer Emergency Response Team", ovvero squadra per la risposta ad emergenze informatiche. Un’altra sigla usata per identificare questi gruppi era CSIRT (“Computer Security Incident Response Team”), ovvero squadre preposte a rispondere in caso di incidenti informatici. CERT era in origine il nome del CSIRT istituito nel 1988 presso il SEI, l’Istituto di Ingegneria del Software della Carnegie Mellon University di Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Nel tempo si è passati a generalizzare questa sigla, per mostrare come i CERT siano squadre chiamate a gestire qualunque tipo di emergenza informatica, non solo quelle legate agli incidenti.
