This is a beta release of SIRIOS 2.2. which is not recommended to use for productive operation. Beta releases are published for test purposes only. SIRIOS is a well proven solution based on OTRS that has been designed to efficiently handle IT security incidents. The software was designed focussing on CERTs and their specific requirements but might also be used in any environment where organizational (IT-) security incidents need to be managed. SIRIOS 2.2. requires a pre-installation of OTRS 2.3.
