Enhances the Security of Romania's National
Computer Security Incident Response Team
BUCHAREST, ROMANIA – Earlier today, the U.S.
Trade and Development Agency awarded a grant to
Centrul National de Raspuns la Incidente de
Securitate Cibernetica (CERT-RO), Romania's
national computer security incident response
team, for a feasibility study to develop a
cyber security innovation center in Romania.
"This project is a priority for the Ministry
for Information Society and CERT-RO due to its
potential to improve cyber security in
Romania," said U.S. Chargé d'affaires Mr. Duane
C. Butcher. "We are pleased to support the
utilization of U.S. cyber security technologies
to strengthen Romania's network."
The USTDA grant will allow CERT-RO to determine
the economic, technical and financial
feasibility of implementing a cyber security
innovation center that can enable effective
exploration and delivery of cyber security
technologies to Romania's government, industry
and citizens. The center will allow the
assessment of proposed technologies to ensure
appropriateness and effectiveness; cyber
security education and training for public and
private sector officials; identification of
cyber security technology needs and updates for
CERT-RO, as well as its customers and
stakeholders; and matching identified upgrades
with proposed technologies.
The project will be led by a team from General
Dynamics Fidelis Cybersecurity Solutions, Inc.
(Bethesda, MD), which will also share in the
costs of the feasibility study.
The grant was signed at the Ministry for
Information Society in Bucharest. Present at
the grant signing were the Minister for
Information Society, Mr. Alexandru Ra(zvan
Cotovelea; Director General for CERT-RO, Mr.
Augustin Jianu; U.S. Embassy Commercial
Counselor, Mr. Jim Cunningham; and USTDA
Country Manager, Mr. Scott Greenip.
