            The Computer Incident  Advisory  Capability  (CIAC)  of  the
            Department of Energy (DOE) is located at the Lawrence Liver-
            more National Laboratory in Livermore, California.  CIAC  is
            the  DOE  crisis center for the handling of computer related
            security incidents.  CIAC rapidly  investigates  reports  of
            possible computer system penetrations, computer viruses, and
            similar problems.  Stopgap software solutions  are  provided
            in  real-time  while  robust binary and source level patches
            are developed.  CIAC distributes information about  computer
            related  threats  to  sites  that may be vulnerable to those
            specific threats. CIAC  also  retains  systems  consultants,
            applications  specialists, and research scientists to assist
            researchers in the security arena.

            CIAC facilities are accessible via the  Internet  for  elec-
            tronic mail and file transfer.

            CIAC is primarily for the use of the DOE community,  but  is
            also  available to cooperate as needed, and as available, in
            major security incidents involving other organizations.
