CERT-In (the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team)
What is CERT-IN?
CERT-In (the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team) is a government-mandated information
technology (IT) security organization. The purpose of CERT-In is to respond to computer security
incidents, report on vulnerabilities and promote effective IT security practices throughout the
country.
CERT-In was created by the Indian Department of Information Technology in 2004 and operates
under the auspices of that department. According to the provisions of the Information
Technology Amendment Act 2008, CERT-In is responsible for overseeing administration of the

CERT
organizations throughout the world are independent entities, although there may be coordinated
activites among groups. The first CERT group was formed in the United States at Carnegie Mellon
University.
