CSIRT-IE Early Warning Service


Objective

The Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT-IE), part of the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), notifies responsible network operators and constituents about infrastructure within Irelands jurisdiction that may present a cybersecurity risk. This includes systems we assess as potentially affected by known Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs), exposed high-risk or potentially exploitable internet-accessible services and ports, indications of infection or compromise, and infrastructure that may be involved in malicious activity.

Notifications are based on the IP address of the affected system and are delivered by email. Each notification is accompanied by practical advice and recommendations to help recipients mitigate risks and reduce the likelihood of exploitation or further impact.
