Punch in "CERT sell warnings" in any search engine and what do you get: "Companies would pay $2,500 to $70,000 annually, depending on their revenue, and in exchange would receive warnings about new Internet threats generally 45 days before anyone else." What's the big surprise, submit a zero-day to CERT, they hang onto it, tell their paying customers about it, then 45 days later release it. WASHINGTON -- One of the U.S. government's front-line defenses against cyber-sabotage will begin selling its early warnings about the latest Internet threats, something it used to share only with federal agencies. The shift comes as the taxpayer-funded CERT Coordination Center, formerly known as the Computer Emergency Response Team, joins a prominent electronics trade association to form a new "Internet Security Alliance." The effort, to be announced here Thursday, would distribute up-to-the-minute warnings to international corporations about cyber-threats, offer security advice and ultimately establish a seal program to certify the security of companies' computer networks. Companies would pay $2,500 to $70,000 annually, depending on their revenue, and in exchange would receive warnings about new Internet threats generally 45 days before anyone else. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: Hush 2.1 Note: This signature can be verified at https://www.hushtools.com wmYEARECACYFAj1JbpQfHGNob29zZS5hLnVzZXJuYW1lQGh1c2htYWlsLmNvbQAKCRDT 5JkCl0iMkCPfAJ4zJpa7NvHfgq6qxW7xUweKrdrjBQCgnXPmHD6QuulReJqXuhbm0ByJ AZk= =Y6NF -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Communicate in total privacy.
