Security
Information security on the Research Network is monitored by DKCERT (Danish Computer Security Incident Response Team). DKCERT is a service provided through DeiC.
DKCERT's mission is to create increased focus on information security in the education and research sector.
By building and creating current, relevant and useful knowledge, DKCERT is able to publish and issue warnings and other information about potential risks and emerging security issues. DKCERT collaborates with the public and private sectors, the research and education community and international partners.

DeiC Security / DKCERT is based on a vision to create value for the education and research sector in the form of increased information security. This is done through the publication of knowledge about information security created through collaboration with the public and private sector, the research and education world, and international partners.
Mission
It is DeiC Security / DKCERT's mission to create increased focus on information security in the education and research sector by building and creating current, relevant and useful knowledge.

DeiC Security / DKCERT
DKCERT changed its name from DKCERT to DeiC Security / DKCERT in fall 2024. The name has been chosen to address the fact that we handle the security of the research network operated by the Danish e-infrastructure Consortium. We retain DKCERT as a biname for the historical narrative of being a "CERT" and to maintain the association with the CERT trademark granted to us by Carnegie Mellon University in 1991.
Projects in DKCERT
DKCERT participates in Danish and foreign projects by virtue of our wide-ranging collaboration interfaces.
The projects in DKCERT are initiated by DeiC, by DKCERT itself or by DKCERT's partners in Denmark and abroad.
In the international context, the projects are funded and established by the EU or GÉANT.
