The effectiveness of the Computer Emergency Response AZ-CERT team can be enhanced by working in close cooperation with Internet service providers in Azerbaijan, Chief Engineer at the Information Technology Institute of the Azerbaijani National Academy of Sciences (ANAS) Rashid Alakbarov told .
He said such interaction is practiced today throughout the world. Internet service providers regularly report to CERT, on information about the appearance of new network attacks, vulnerabilities, ports, etc. The information is publicly available through Internet resources CERT, whose administrators also provide advisory services to users.
"Today, virtually none of the Azerbaijani Internet service providers provide such information to the AZ-CERT.

To monitor computer systems and networks, the team use a number of software solutions and tools with an open code which allows them to monitor these sites and services and alert the administrator about failures or other threats.
It has its own website, a separate network and server that captures, maintains records and processes requests from an incident.
