About GOVCERT.NL and de Waarschuwingsdienst

GOVCERT.NL is the Computer Emergency Response Team for the Dutch Government. The organisation offers support to the government in the field of preventing and dealing with ICT-related security incidents, such as computer viruses, hacker activities and bugs in applications and hardware. GOVCERT.NL is the central reporting and coordination point for relevant security incidents for the government. GOVCERT.NL advises, coordinates, monitors and provides information about ICT security within the government by:
  • Ensuring that the right information arrives at the right place on time;
  • Supporting the people responsible within the government bodies for the prevention of and response to security incidents.
< > GOVCERT.NL is an initiative of the Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations and has been officially active since 5 June 2002. GOVCERT.NL is part of ICTU, the ICT implementation organisation of the Dutch government.

About the alerting service 'De Waarschuwingsdienst'

The National Alerting Service aims to provide citizens and SME's with timely information regarding security related incidents. The National Alerting Service does this by distributing early warnings and alerts. The National Alerting Service has been commissioned by the Ministry of Economic Affairs, and resides within GOVCERT.NL, the Computer Emergency Response Team for the Dutch government.
The National Alerting Service makes use of a public website (http://www.waarschuwingsdienst.nl/), a free mailing list and a free Short Message Service. The language of the website is Dutch. The website is used as a first point-of-contact for the target group and provides them with up-to-date information as well as background details on security issues. The website also contains an incident reporting point for security incidents, which is used to optimise our early warnings and alerts.
To conclude, the National Alerting Service can make use of communication channels such as radio, TV, printed media and supporting websites for the dissemination of their early warnings and alerts.
