National CERT is critical --- While mini-or sectoral CERTs may be established without a National CERT in place and may have some level of efficiency and success because of the sector-specific functions, it is always advisable to have a National CERT which can be envisioned as the country's premier go-to body or contact point for national, regional and international liaison and coordination particularly in times of a massive cyber conflict or event. National CERTs also act as a cohesive mechanism to manage and govern all the other local CERTs.
