Security Projects We are pleased to announce a new project called oCERT, the Open Source Computer Emergency Response Team.

The oCERT project is a public effort providing security handling support to Open Source projects affected by security incidents or vulnerabilities, just like national CERTs offer services for their respective countries.

If you are a small project lacking security handling resources we can aid you in tracking down the extent and nature of potential compromises and security vulnerabilities and co-ordinate with all affected parties (like projects that ship your code).

If you are a big project and/or Open Source vendor we can promptly communicate with you reports and vulnerabilities that might affect your codebase and infrastructure and help you out with your security requirements.

Just because a project is open source does not ensure that it is totally secure. Check out the oCERT project for an attempt to help make open source security even better!
