WARP (information security)

Warning, Advice and Reporting Point (WARP) is a community or internal company-based service to share advice and information on computer-based threats and vulnerabilities.

WARPs typically provide:

• Warning – A filtered warning service, where subscribers receive alerts and advisory information on only the subjects relevant to them.
• Advice – An advice brokering service, where members can ask and respond to questions in a trusted secure environment.
• Reporting – Central collection of information on incidents and problems in a trusted secure environment. The collected information may then be anonymised and shared amongst the membership.
