US-CERT
http://www.us-cert.gov/

On September 15, 2003, the Department of Homeland Security , in conjunction with the CERT Coordination Center (CERT/CC) at Carnegie Mellon University, announced the creation of the US-CERT. The US-CERT works with the National Cyber Security Division (NCSD) to prevent and mitigate cyber attacks and reduce cyber vulnerabilities.

The US-CERT is also the central element in the NCSD's Cyber Security Tracking Analysis and Response Center, which includes the Federal Computer Incident Response Center (FedCIRC).

The US-CERT initiative is designed to utilize the CERT/CC's capabilities to help accelerate the nation's response to cyber attacks and vulnerabilities. The initiative also enables DHS to provide expanded, cyber analysis, warning, and response coordination.
