/// GARNET Ghanaian Academic and Research Network
Incident response, coordinated across Ghana’s research and education community.
GARNET CSIRT gives member institutions a shared point of coordination for security incidents: triage, threat intelligence, and hands-on support. Each institution stays in charge of its own network; we connect the dots between them.
