Aujas Networks Achieves CERT-In 'Empanelment'

Aujas Networks, a provider of Information Risk Management services, has achieved the CERT-In (Indian Computer Emergency Response Team) empanelment as an IT Security Audit Organisation.

Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) is a national initiative to tackle any emerging challenges in the area of information security and country-level security risks and vulnerabilities. CERT-In is co-ordinated by the Department of Information Technology, Ministry of Communications and Information Technology, Government of India, in co-operation with several agencies in the government, academia and industry.

Srinivas Rao, Aujas’ CEO and co-founder, said, “Aujas’ CERT-In Empanelment as an IT security auditing organisation highlights our capability as a focused security organisation and lays emphasis on our technical capability in performing all levels of security assessments.”

CERT-In empanelment involves various procedures such as providing information, methodologies, case studies, skills and profiles. It also includes a two-stage qualifying test – an offline and online test – to assess applications both in the offline and Web environment. The selection process includes various challenges from identifying, exploiting and reporting vulnerabilities. The report is reviewed by a panel of security experts and then the empanelment is awarded.
