For those not aware, CERT is the Computer Emergency Response Team, a division with the Software Engineering Institute at Carnegie-Mellon University.  Its a research group looking into various aspects of cybersecurity threats.  Often times it reports on new threats, alert organizations about them so they can take action.  It was formed by a directive from DARPA in the wake of the Morris worm, which formed the CERT Coordination Center.
