About CYNET-CSIRT
CYNET-CSIRT envisions to provide incident response and security services to all Academic Institutions, Research Institutes and educational networks that are members of the Cyprus Research & Academic Network (CYNET), both current and future.
CYNET-CSIRT aims to educate its members about the effects of cyber threats and cyber-crime, and train them to provide early warnings, alerts, announcements and efficient use of the respective tools.
What we do
CYNET-CSIRT develops and offers to their constituents, services, tools and support surrounding the prevention, management and coordination of potential cybersecurity-related emergencies.
Malware Classification
A developed tool for labeling and categorizing an unidentified binary file under a particular class or family of other, previously identified malicious binary files. Such tools are usually operated by domain experts through and involve static and dynamic analysis of a given software.
Vulnerability Analysis
A developed tool for identifying and classifying potential vulnerabilities in several components in a network such as servers, applications, routers, and firewalls. The tool focuses on particular known vulnerabilities with an assigned CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures).
Real-time Analysis
A developed system that monitors network traffic for suspicious activity and issues alerts when such activity is discovered. The system passively records network traffic on the entire subnet for identifying particular patterns that are related with documented attacks. Once an attack is identified or abnormal behavior is observed, the alert is sent to the administrator.
