The CERT program is associated with which organization?

• A. National Security Agency
• B. Center for Internet Security
• C. Carnegie Mellon University's "Computer Emergency Response Team"
• D. International Organization for Standardization

Answer: (C)

CERT stands for Computer Emergency Response Team, and its origins are at Carnegie Mellon University, specifically the CERT Coordination Center housed within CMU’s Software Engineering Institute. It was created in the late 1980s to coordinate incident response and share security information after the Morris worm, with DARPA support. So, the program is best associated with Carnegie Mellon University. The other organizations listed are separate entities and not the source of the CERT program.
