EGC group

The EGC group is an informal group of governmental CSIRTs that is developing effective co-operation on incident response matters between its members, building upon the similarity in constituencies and problem sets between governmental CSIRTs in Europe.

To achieve this goal, the EGC group members will:

• Jointly develop measures to deal with large-scale or regional network security incidents
• Facilitate information sharing and technology exchange relating to IT security incidents and malicious code threats and vulnerabilities
• Identify areas of specialist knowledge and expertise that could be shared within the group
• Identify areas of collaborative research and development on subjects of mutual interest
• Encourage formation of government CSIRTs in European countries
• Communicate common views with other initiatives and organizations
