Networking and Supercomputing

Information Security Team (IST)

The Information Security Team of the Wrocław Centre for Network and Supercomputing carries out ICT security monitoring aimed at detecting threats in the Wrocław University of Technology network and the municipal academic network (WASK). These are activities under Computer Security Incident Response Team - CSIRT.
This is a team of network security experts, whose role is to provide security support to users and administrators of IT infrastructure. The team's primary task is to identify threats in ICT systems (network monitoring) and prevent them by vulnerability detection and security incidents management.

IST also offers complete IT security services for commercial customers focused on protection against cyber-attacks and enable higher level of security, including incident prevention, response and incident management (auditing, penetration testing, cyber-security analysis, IT forensics and more).

The services offered include analysis of the level of security, diagnostics of network security and breaches in users' IT systems, and the provision of information on the state of the protected infrastructure. This allows procedures to reduce the likelihood of adverse events and to develop ways of protecting against their effects more broadly, thus better protecting the data and information contained in protected systems.

The WCSS ZBI has many years of experience in the field of ICT security. Its members are involved in national and international projects, as analysts, designers and coordinators of cyber security work. Our team members are in ISACA, OWASP, ISSA, ISC, PTI and other organisations. The team's achievements include finding many vulnerabilities in common and specialised applications used both by big companies and scientific community.
