Beagle Security (Beagle Cyber Innovations Pvt. Ltd.) is now a CERT-In empaneled Information Security Audit Provider. This certification allows the company to provide security audit and advisory services to the Indian government, semi-government, and public sector organizations through its cyber security services wing – Beagle Next. Beagle Security is one of the youngest companies to be CERT-In empaneled.
The Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) is part of the Government of India’s Ministry of Communications and Information Technology. It is a nodal agency in charge of dealing with cyber security concerns such as hacking and phishing.
It increases the Indian Internet domain’s security defenses. CERT-In has used a demanding approach to examine participants in its effort to develop a competent panel of Security Auditing organizations. This is to ensure that the participating businesses have the technical knowledge and ability to conduct an information security audit.
Empanelment for CERT-In is a difficult process that includes several steps such as providing information, methodology, case studies, skills, and profiles.
Participants must also pass a two-stage qualifying test, both offline and online, to assess applications in both the offline and web environments - identifying, exploiting, and reporting vulnerabilities are also part of the selection process.
To be deemed effective, you must identify at least 90% of the vulnerabilities on the web server. A team of security specialists will analyze the report before awarding the empanelment.
