Luxembourg has an active community of public and private Computer Alert and Response Centres (CERT/CSIRTs), which cooperate at the national and international level to respond rapidly to incidents. The governmental CERT is integrated into the High Commission for National Protection (Ministry of State) and provides a range of services for the public sector and critical infrastructure in order to further increase the resilience of IT systems in its constituency. The governmental CERT also operates a military CERT that promotes synergies, especially in the field of cybersecurity exercises and vulnerability and intrusion testing. CIRCL acts as a clearinghouse for information sharing on cyber threats for various sectors, providing tools, community leadership, best practices, exchange standards and data for a wide range of communities, placing Luxembourg in a central position for this global threat information sharing. In addition, the CIRCL also acts as a trusted host for several leading information sharing communities, offering hosting and management of dedicated central hubs as well as support and training opportunities for these communities. 3.3 THE SCRUBBING CENTRE advanced detection of DDoS incidents and allows the filtering of non-legitimate requests in order to ensure the continuity of IT services and the accessibility and reliability of data in the event of an attack.
