3C-CSIRT model a sustainable national CSIRT for afghanistan

There are many of organizational, national and international level Computer Emergency Response Team (CSIRT) that have been developed for defending and protecting cyber threats. As a developing country, Afghanistan likewise has a similar Computer Emergency Response Team known as AFCERT that handles cyber incidents but with limited services, constituents and very much depending on funds from foreign donations. Therefore, this paper proposes a 3C-CSIRT, an organizational level CSIRT to fill up the gap in defending and protecting the Afghanistan's cyber space at the national level rather than at a specific constituent. In the proposed 3C-CSIRT model, two organizational models of CSIRT, namely the Coordinated Model and Security Team have been integrated into the services and constituency. The model also introduced a new funding strategy for AFCERT to turn it into a more sustainable national CSIRT for Afghanistan.
