Regulations and team

The LUIS security team is responsible for central information security measures of both a preventive and reactive nature, in particular the handling of information security incidents ("emergency response"), and advises on information security issues.

If you would like to communicate with the security team in encrypted form, you have two options:

• Please indicate this in your request to security@luis.uni-hannover.de. A member of staff will then contact you directly by encrypted e-mail.
  
  or
   
• Write an encrypted e-mail directly to security-pgp@luis.uni-hannover.de. You can encrypt it with the corresponding public key. As this mailbox may not be read every day, we advise you to write an additional (unencrypted info) mail to security@luis.uni-hannover.de.

Computer Emergency Response Teams (CERTs) are dedicated to the timely detection and assessment of acute threats. CERTs exist on different levels:

• at a service provider (DFN-CERT)
• regional (N-CERT)
• supraregional/national/international (CERT-BUND)

The knowledge gained is made available to the users. DFN-CERT regularly sends out the latest available security alerts, which you can also subscribe to via LUIS.

Alternatively, you can also get information from CERTs via Twitter:

• CERT-BUND
• DFN-CERT

The BSI also provides information to consumers away from the IT Grundschutzkompendium.
