Enhances the Security of Romania's National Computer Security Incident Response
Team
BUCHAREST, ROMANIA – Earlier today, the U.S. Trade and Development Agency
awarded a grant to Centrul National de Raspuns la Incidente de Securitate
Cibernetica (CERT-RO), Romania's national computer security incident response
team, for a feasibility study to develop a cyber security innovation center in
Romania.
"This project is a priority for the Ministry for Information Society and CERT-RO
due to its potential to improve cyber security in Romania," said U.S. Chargé
d'affaires Mr. Duane C. Butcher. "We are pleased to support the utilization of
U.S. cyber security technologies to strengthen Romania's network."
The USTDA grant will allow CERT-RO to determine the economic, technical and
financial feasibility of implementing a cyber security innovation center that
can enable effective exploration and delivery of cyber security technologies to
Romania's government, industry and citizens. The center will allow the
assessment of proposed technologies to ensure appropriateness and effectiveness;
cyber security education and training for public and private sector officials;
identification of cyber security technology needs and updates for CERT-RO, as
well as its customers and stakeholders; and matching identified upgrades with
proposed technologies.
The project will be led by a team from General Dynamics Fidelis Cybersecurity
Solutions, Inc. (Bethesda, MD), which will also share in the costs of the
feasibility study.
The grant was signed at the Ministry for Information Society in Bucharest.
Present at the grant signing were the Minister for Information Society, Mr.
Alexandru Ra(zvan Cotovelea; Director General for CERT-RO, Mr. Augustin Jianu;
U.S. Embassy Commercial Counselor, Mr. Jim Cunningham; and USTDA Country
Manager, Mr. Scott Greenip.
