so very Tired and overworked, and when there are vulnerabilities in the software of the Citrix solutions have been found, grabbed a handful of volunteers and had everything in their hands and they came up with a new nationwide hotline to report breaches to the Dutch Security Reporting. “We thought,” this needs to be better.”

the ICT experts are concerned about the coordination of security weaknesses in organisations in the Netherlands. That co-ordination is not handled by a central point, which leads to miscommunication and delays in the clearing of the drain.

In the recent years, therefore, it is a kind of voluntary cyberbrandweer occur. A group of ICT experts that joins together organizations in the Netherlands to provide in the event of a cyber attack.

“We thought,” this must be better arranged,’

now, In 2019, was that the VPN connections between the management of air traffic control, the national government, and hundreds of other companies in the Netherlands, due to a flaw in the virtual private network service at Pulse Secure, a half-year for cyber criminals, according to research by the Volkskrant.

“The information about the vulnerability was still there, but it didn’t go to the people who are there now,” says ICT expert, Frank This.

He wanted to create a place where researchers, revealed vulnerabilities in the servers of the organisations in the Netherlands were able to log in. “And we wanted to have this information to hand at the right people, in the case of the organizations, so that the vulnerability is a quick and effective way to achieve this.”
A immediate start
with The plans for the desk, there were already a few months old, but This wanted to take the time to get it to turn on. He wanted to have a volunteer to recruit and set up. But then all of a sudden vulnerability in Citrix.

the vulnerability is in the network, and Citrix could see in the distance is a random program running on the system. They were doing this for the whole system to be able to take over.

The businesses would be victims of data leaks or a lot of manual intervention. In early January, revealed that seven of the servers are in the Netherlands were vulnerable, and that vulnerability in the hackers attacked.

“I thought to myself:” this issue is so serious, this is what we need to do something about it,” says cyberexpert, Matthijs Koot. This told the back of his mind, and launched from one day to the other, the Dutch, the Security Hotline.

to Contact the companies, it is sometimes difficult to
Koot scanned in the past few weeks the internet, for the vulnerable, Citrix systems reported to them, and then This. This, and the other volunteers saw to it that the messages reach the right people in the right organisations have found their way. That turned out to be a daunting task.

“It’s one thing to have to get in touch with the businesses,” says This. “You can have them e-mail, but the question is whether or not the e-mail, however, with the right person. Some companies may think that they have something to sell or that they want to kiss. It takes a lot of time and effort.”

” it’s as If I have two jobs to have
This had been the last few weeks, the feeling that he had two jobs at the same time, it had. And Koot has been in place since the first week of January, the daily hours of working on it.

in Spite of that, the time and effort is This going to be the integrity to see it through. “We are now going to see what the fall-out of the Citrix and vulnerability. And then we’re going to look at whether it reporting a wider be able to organize it, because this is a small group of people that’s the way it is not full. We’re going to be here, now, with the various parties involved in the conversation.”
