Baku, Azerbaijan, Feb. 26
By Huseyn Valiyev - Trend:
A Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT), functioning under the State Agency for Special Communications and Information Security of the Azerbaijani Special State Protection Service is preparing for a large scale project for the protection of the Azerbaijani segment of the Internet from attacks and hackers, CERT told Trend on Feb. 25.
The necessary hardware and software are planned to be bought and installed as part of the scheduled work. The project will be implemented by late 2014, CERT said.
The project envisages the filtering of incoming Internet traffic to protect the AzNET network. The main task is to ensure the information security of not only state agencies but also consumers.
A new technology will detect malicious threats and protect against frequent DDoS- attacks.
CERT uses the most advanced technology solutions, including special software products developed by its own programmers to combat the adverse effects of the Internet.
The vast majority of attacks occur during important events in Azerbaijan. It can be both holidays and days of mourning, CERT said earlier.
