Computer Security Incident Coordination

Overview
The goal of Computer Security Incident Coordination (CSIC) is to help diverse collections of organizations to effectively collaborate in the handling of computer security incidents. Effective collaboration raises numerous issues on how and when to share information between organizations, and in what form information should be shared. Because different organizations may have substantially different capabilities for responding to attacks, diagnosing causes, and handling sensitive attack-related information, guidance must provide a framework to help organizations interoperate despite their organizational differences.
