Information security issues in a data centre in Latin America
by Joel Mana Goncalves, Fabio Raymundo Neves Fernandes
International Journal of Internet Technology and Secured Transactions (IJITST), Vol. 3, No. 1, 2011

Abstract: This paper focuses on the experience of PRODESP, one of the biggest data centres in Latin America in the treatment of security incidents on the internet and initiatives to curb these incidents. It is shown how the computer security incident response team (CSIRT) acts. CSIRT is a group created in a data centre in the public sector to address the problem of lack of treatment for incidents of security. The paper shows the solution adopted with the implementation and constant monitoring of the environment of the internet. The paper further exploits a pioneering initiative of this group in regard to participation in the National Consortium of Honeypots in deployment in Brazil, to ensure further security of internet users and how the team interacts with other congeners groups in the world to create and ensure a safe environment for the user community in general.
