The EGC Group


What is the EGC ?



The EGC group forms an informal association of governmental CERTs in Europe. Its members effectively cooperate on matters of incident response by building upon a fundament of mutual trust and understanding due to similarities in constituencies and problem sets.
To achieve this goal, the EGC members:

  • Jointly develop measures to deal with large-scale or regional network security incidents;
  • Facilitate information sharing and technology exchange relating to IT security incidents and malicious code threats and vulnerabilities;
  • Identify areas of specialist knowledge and expertise that could be shared within the group;
  • Identify areas of collaborative research and development on subjects of mutual interest.
