TF-CSIRT presentation
A set of slides have been prepared describing the work of TERENA's Task Force on Computer Security Incident Response Teams. We hope that these will help members of the Task Force who are asked to describe its work to do so without everyone having to prepare their own set of slides.
Use of the slide show is subject to certain conditions, which are imposed to ensure that they are used to the benefit of TERENA and CSIRT cooperation in Europe. The master copy of the slideshow is be held by the Task Force secretary, currently Baiba Kaskina of TERENA. Requests to use the slides should be sent to the TF-CSIRT Secretary with a description of the event and audience to which they will be presented. Permission will normally be granted routinely to any member of the Task Force. Presentations should always use an up to date copy of the slides. After using the slides, presenters are asked to send their comments and any feedback received from the audience to TERENA so that these can be used to improve future versions of the presentation. Please also return a copy of the slides that were actually used including any modifications which can be used to improve the master copy. Presenters should note that the slides are copyright TERENA and may not be used other than in accordance with these conditions without specific permission from TERENA. In particular, logos and other graphics may not be re-used without explicit permission.
The full slide show consists of nearly 30 slides covering nearly all aspects of the work of the Task Force. It is not envisaged that the full set will be used often: this number of slides would normally take an hour and a half to present! Instead, the presentation is structured as a core set of six slides, with others in groups giving more detail of different aspects of the Task Force. This structure is shown in the diagram below. We suggest that anyone planning a presentation should normally use the six core slides (about 15 minutes worth of material) and then add in slides or groups that are likely to be most appropriate to the audience. For example a talk to a management audience to encourage membership of the Task Force might include the slides on the benefits of membership and which countries are involved, while a talk to a technical audience would be more likely to concentrate on details of the projects and deliverables. Extensive notes on each slide are included in the presentation: we suggest these may be useful to experienced speakers to check their own memories as well as to less experienced speakers who need a quick primer. Feedback from speakers on these notes would be particularly welcome.
As a rough guide to timing, each slide will normally take 2-3 minutes to present. Please do not try to squeeze too many into a given time slot: audiences and workshop chairs are always grateful for speakers who present a realistic amount of material in their allocated time.
