Abstract: CSIRTs (Computer Security Response Teams) are the natural response to the widespread internet threats. Many of them have grown of small, but focused groups of people, by streamlining and expanding of what they have been already doing as part of their IT administrative work. Formalisation of the procedures and workflows brings the need for specialised tools, helping with incident categorisation, authorisation of incident origin and general workflow. Also, special nature of incoming report emails introduces a new issues to otherwise well-known spam and backscatter fighting methods. As well as low level know-how, important part of security team practices are also higher level statistical analyses for pinpointing potential threats and trends. This paper proposes approaches to these problems and describes their implementation as modifications and supportive applications for Open Ticket Request System (OTRS), as well as experience from usage in the real world medium-size!
