Why work with Ivanka on RFC 2350 — Expectations for Computer Security Incident Response (BCP 21)

RFC 2350 (BCP 21, 1998, updated by RFC 7942) describes the expectations of the Internet community regarding Computer Security Incident Response Teams (CSIRTs). It defines what a CSIRT should communicate about itself: mission, constituency, authority, policies, services, reporting procedures, and operating procedures. The RFC established the standard template for CSIRT descriptions still used today by incident response teams worldwide. Complemented by RFC 7970 (IODEF — Incident Object Description Exchange Format), RFC 8134 (Management Incident Lightweight Exchange), and RFC 9424 (Indicators of Compromise).
