PSIRT intakes vulnerability information from multiple channels including customers, internal engineering, and recognized sources such as the CVE database.; If an issue is detected by the Cloud Insights engineering team, the team will initiate the PSIRT process, assess, and potentially remediate the issue.; Customers or researchers may also report security issues to Technical Support or to NetApp’s incident response team. In these cases, the Cloud Insights team will initiate the PSIRT process, assess, and potentially remediate the issue.
• Protective monitoring type: Conforms to a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v3.0 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
• Protective monitoring approach: NetApp runs a continuous security monitoring service that analyses and processes numerous logs, comparing those against threat intelligence feeds and employing machine learning to identify unexpected (and potentially malicious) activity. Response processes and timelines depend on the severity of the event. Additionally, user access is ‘least privilege’ based, requires multi-factor authentication and is regularly reviewed.
• Incident management type: Conforms to a recognised standard, for example, CSA CCM v3.0 or ISO/IEC 27035:2011 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
• Incident management approach: There are a series of documented processes for common or known events. Users can report incidents via phone, chat, email or online. Production events that involve extended outages, security breaches or loss of customer data will qualify for a root cause analysis, including timeline of event, customer impact, direct and root cause of event, and improvements made or planned to prevent recurrence.

  Fighting climate change

  CDW is committed to fighting climate change and protecting the environment. CDW has made a commitment to achieve Net Zero emissions by 2040, 10 years earlier than mandated by the UK government. To achieve this, CDW has implemented (and continues to implement) initiatives to reduce our emissions and carbon footprint, all of which are underpinned by CDW’s ISO14001 certified Environmental Management System (EMS) and our beGreen program.; ; CDW’s distribution centre and our flagship offices hold ISO 14001 environmental management certifications, with our UK distribution centre also holding REGO energy certifications. In parallel with our EMS and beGreen program, CDW has invested in and implemented a range of initiatives to help tackle our contribution towards climate change across our operational activities. These initiatives include (but are not limited to):; ; -Solar panel usage. As a result, in 2021, we were able to achieve 100% renewable energy sourcing for CDW-owned buildings.; -Energy-efficient lighting solutions, including indoor and outdoor LED lighting.; -Motion sensor lighting and conveyor systems that turn off in response to inactivity.; -Water consumption solutions, including rainwater harvesting efforts.; -“Smart” HVAC systems that adjust according to business hours and seasonal temperatures.; -A ‘Pin to Print’ program enabling enhanced print queue management to reduce wasted print jobs; -A goal to achieve 100% renewable energy sourcing for electricity by 2027. In 2021, 98% of electricity consumed in the UK was from renewable sources.; ; Additionally, at our distribution centres, we have recycled:; ; -2,966 tons of packaging material; -9,794 tons of cardboard; -636 tons of paper; -Thousands of wood and plastic pallets; ; Furthermore, at a coworker level, CDW has established a ‘WE GET Our Environment’ Business Resource Group and an Environment Committee with the purpose of increasing awareness of the environmental and social strategy, and to empower coworkers to get involved in environmental initiatives.
