McAfee, a security technology company, has announced its advisory partnership with CERT-IN, the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team. McAfee will be the anti-malware advisory partner to CERT-IN.

CERT-IN evaluates potential threats in the environment and provides advice on security parameters to the Government of India’s Department of Information Technology (DIT). It identifies trends in intruder activity, works with other similar institutions and organisations to resolve major security issues, and disseminates information to the Indian cyber community.

India is a prolific force in information technology and this partnership only reinforces McAfee’s commitment to providing value through its global expertise in the field of anti-malware."
