Incident Reporting Organizations

US-CERT [IR 6,7]

Information Analysis Infrastructure Protection (IAIP) CERT® Coordination Center (CERT®/CC) Information Sharing and Analysis Centers (ISAC)

Each agency must designate a primary and secondary POC with US-CERT, report all incidents, and internally document corrective actions and their impact. [IR-7]

Federal Agency Incident Reporting Categories

CAT 0 - Exercise/Network Defense Testing CAT 1 - *Unauthorized Access CAT 2 - *Denial of Service (DoS) CAT 3 - *Malicious Code CAT 4 - *Inappropriate Usage CAT 5 - Scans/Probes/ Attempted Access CAT 6 - Investigation

* Any incident that involves compromised PII must be reported to US-CERT within 1 hour of detection regardless of the incident category reporting timeframe.

Knowledge Check

Name the contingency planning variable that defines the maximum amount of time that a system resource can remain unavailable before there is an unacceptable impact on other system resources, supported mission/business functions, and the MTD?

What is created to correlate the information system with critical mission/business processes, which is further used to characterize the consequences of a disruption?

Which Federal mandate requires agencies to report incidents to US-CERT?

What is the US-CERT incident category name and reporting timeframe for a CAT-2 incident?

Media Sanitization

Disposal - discarding media with no other sanitization considerations

Cleaning - must not allow information to be retrieved by data, disk, or file recovery utilities.

Purging - protects the confidentiality of information against a laboratory attack.

Destroying - ultimate form of sanitization: disintegration, incineration, pulverizing, shredding, and melting.
