Description of Working Group

The full name of this working group is Guidelines and Recommendations for Security Incident Processing.

This working group is co-chartered by the Security Area.

The purpose of the GRIP Working Group is to provide guidelines and recommendations to facilitate the consistent handling of security incidents in the Internet community. Guidelines will address technology vendors, network service providers, response teams in their roles assisting organizations in resolving security incidents. These relationships are functional and can exist within and across organizational boundaries.

The working group will produce two quality documents:

2) Guidelines for vendors (this will include both technology producers and network service providers).
