New Delhi, June 19 (IANS) The Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In), under the IT Ministry, on Wednesday said it has joined hands with financial giant Mastercard to promote cooperation and information sharing in the area of cybersecurity related to the financial sector.
The two entities will leverage their shared expertise regarding the financial sector in the fields of cybersecurity incident response, capacity building, sharing cyber threat intelligence specific to the financial sector and advanced malware analysis.
