The CERT Division, part of the Software Engineering Institute at Carnegie Mellon University, specializes in cybersecurity for networked systems. Its work has evolved from incident response to a proactive, comprehensive approach aimed at anticipating and mitigating cybersecurity challenges. Based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, it is described as a national asset in cybersecurity and serves as a trusted authority on improving the security and resilience of computer systems and networks. The division works with public- and private-sector organizations, offering guidance and resources to reduce exposure to vulnerabilities and guide effective mitigations. In June 2026, the CERT Division participated in the launch of an AI Adoption Maturity Model developed with Accenture and CMU's SEI to help organizations scale AI with predictable outcomes.
