/// Who we are

About GARNET CSIRT

GARNET CSIRT is the coordinating incident response function for theGhanaian Academic and Research Network. We support member institutions without taking over their own security responsibility.

Our mission

To give Ghana’s research and education institutions a shared point of coordination for security incidents — reducing their likelihood through advisories and awareness, and their impact through fast, coordinated response.

Our constituency

GARNET member institutions and the network infrastructure they operate under GARNET address space. Each institution stays in charge of its own network; we connect the dots between them.
