Uppsala (4 - 5 March 2010)
TERENA will organise a TRANSITS training workshop on 4 - 5 March 2010. The workshop will be co-organised and sponsored by ENISA, the European Network and Information Security Agency and SUNET. The venue will be the Polacksbacken campus of Uppsala University and the Eklundshof Hotel in Uppsala, Sweden.
Course Summary
The TRANSITS course aims to develop the knowledge and skills that are needed by staff who are members of a Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT), 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.
For a more detailed description of the course, please follow the 'Programme' link on the right.
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.
Schedule
The two-day course is scheduled to run on Thursday 4 March and Friday 5 March, but we do ask delegates to try to arrive before 20:00 on Wednesday 3 March so we can introduce each other and welcome you to the course, and you can have a fresh start on day one of the course.
The course will run until late evening on Friday 5 March, and we therefore expect delegates not to leave the venue until the morning of Saturday 6 March.
Three nights accommodation is included in the registration fee to enable this; breakfast is included.
Course fee
The course fee is derived from the costs of running the workshop, and is sponsored by ENISA to further reduce the registration fee as much as possible. No profit is made on the courses. The course tutors donate their time free of charge. A registration page will be opened for successful applicants to enable payment.
