TRANSITS CSIRT Training

Sofia, Bulgaria (5/6 July 2007)

TERENA will organise a TRANSITS training workshop on 5/6 July 2007. The workshop is sponsored by ENISA, the European Network and Information Security Agency. The venue will be the Skyway Hotel and Conference facility just outside Sofia, Bulgaria.

Course Summary

The CSIRT training course aims to develop the knowledge and skills that are needed by staff who are members of a Computer Security Incident Response Team, who will join such a team, or who are involved in creating such a team. The course has been developed by members of CSIRTs in Europe, from both the commercial and the academic sector, under the auspices of TERENA's task force TF-CSIRT.

Pre-requisites

Trainees are typically experienced system, network or IT managers. (Interested persons from other backgrounds are welcome to contact the organisers to discuss the suitability of the course for them). They are expected to have an awareness of the security issues involved in connecting computers to the Internet. They must be committed to using their skills to improve the security of computers and networks. For the technical side of the course, familiarity with the normal operation of TCP/IP networks, addresses, port numbers and protocols will be assumed.

Registration

Participants will be selected from those who apply.
