The Cyber Security Early Warning task force, which includes representatives from businesses, trade groups, and academia, has issued its first set of recommendations. First is a call for the creation of an Early Warning Alert Network (EWAN) that would work with existing public-private information-sharing organizations to establish "trust communities" across industry sectors that would receive critical alerts on vulnerabilities, attacks, and exploits. The task force also envisions a National Crisis Coordination Center (NCCC), "a single physical center that pulls together public and private sector constituencies for full crisis prevention and response coordination," complete with backup power, a hot site, and a full-time staff assigned for tours of duty by members of each critical infrastructure and government sector.
