INFORMATION ON GOVCERT

The Government Computer Emergency Response Team (GovCERT) is the national
specialist service responsible for the technical management of cyberincidents
and technical analysis of cyberthreats. It supports critical infrastructure
operators, the public sector and the Swiss business location with technical
information on current cyberthreats and with the management of cyberincidents.
GovCERT also works in close collaboration with the police authorities. This
cooperation covers both the exchange of information and support with technical
analyses.

To ensure the timely exchange of information on cyberthreats, GovCERT works with
other CERTs and CSIRTs (computer security incident response teams) worldwide. In
addition, GovCERT is a member of various recognised international organisations.

BLOG AND WHITE PAPERS

Over the years, GovCERT has published a variety of blogs, white papers
(technical reports) and other documentation on cyberthreats (previously on
www.govcert.ch).
These documents will now be published on GitHub:

GitHub: Archive of the GovCERT.ch website


LIST OF BLOCKED FILE TYPES

GovCERT publishes a list of file types that are often used to distribute malware
by email, and recommends that these be proactively blocked at the email gateway
or spam filter, or placed in quarantine.

INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION

In the joint fight against cyberthreats, international cooperation is very
important. Membership in various associations enables GovCERT to establish a
global network of personal relationships. GovCERT is a member of FIRST (Forum of
Incident Response and Security Teams, www.first.org), of the European Government
CERTs (EGC) group (www.egc-group.org) and of the International Watch and Warning
Network (IWWN). In addition, GovCERT has accreditation from the European Trusted
Introducer (TI) Service.
