WARP (information security)
Warning, Advice and Reporting Point (WARP) is a community or internal company based service to share advice and information on computer-based threats and vulnerabilities.
WARPs typically provide
- Warning - A filtered warning service, where subscribers receive alerts and advisory information on only the subjects relevant to them.
- Advice - An advice brokering service, where members can ask and respond to questions in a trusted secure environment.
- Reporting - Central collection of information on incidents and problems in a trusted secure environment. The collected information may then be anonymised and shared amongst the membership.
WARPs typically cost much less to set up than a Computer Emergency Response Centre as in CERT/CC or US-CERT.
