Computer Incident Advisory Capability (CIAC) is a service run by the Office of Cyber Security at the Department of Energy. The primary function of CIAC is, as the name implies, to advise people of computer incidents. Primarily this means security flaws in systems, virus and hoax alerts and similar information security concerns. CIAC is a founding member of GFIRST, the Government Forum of Incident Responders and Security Teams and FIRST, an international incident response and security organization. CIAC provides incident reports and bulletins.[1]
