THE CERT DIVISION

The CERT Division is a leader in cybersecurity. We partner with government,
industry, law enforcement, and academia to improve the security and resilience
of computer systems and networks. We study problems that have widespread
cybersecurity implications and develop advanced methods and tools to counter
large-scale, sophisticated cyber threats.

Chief Engineer, CERT Division


WHAT WE DO

CERT experts are a diverse group of researchers, software engineers, security
analysts, and digital intelligence specialists working together to research
security vulnerabilities in software products, contribute to long-term changes
in networked systems, and develop cutting-edge information and training to
improve the practice of cybersecurity.

Our connection to the internationally known Carnegie Mellon University creates
multidisciplinary collaboration opportunities and amplifies our research
abilities.

HISTORY

The CERT Division is the birthplace of cybersecurity. For nearly 30 years, the
CERT Division of the SEI has partnered with government, industry, law
enforcement, and academia to advance cybersecurity and improve the security and
resilience of computer systems and networks.

Originally focused on incident response, we have expanded into cybersecurity
areas such as network situational awareness, malicious code analysis, secure
coding, resilience management, insider threats, digital investigations and
intelligence, workforce development, DevOps, forensics, software assurance,
vulnerability discovery and analysis, and risk management.

Barbara Fraser and Ed DeHart, part of the SEI’s CERT/CC in the early 1990s


FORMER DIRECTOR RICHARD PETHIA

Richard Pethia was founding director of the SEI's CERT Division. Pethia, who
served as director of CERT from 1988 to 2016, guided the organization through
tremendous growth and change. Under Pethia's leadership, the unit expanded and
evolved from the CERT Coordination Center—a small group focused on computer
incident response—to a research organization of more than 200 professionals
dedicated to solving problems with widespread cybersecurity implications.
