CSIRT Training

About TRANSITS

TRANSITS was originally an EU funded project to promote the establishment of Computer Security Incident Response Teams (CSIRTs) and the enhancement of existing CSIRTs by addressing the problem of the shortage of skilled CSIRT staff. This goal has been addressed by providing specialist training courses to train staff of (new) CSIRTs in the organisational, operational, technical, market and legal issues involved in providing CSIRT services.

In particular, the TRANSITS project has

  • developed, updated and regularly revised modular training course material
  • organised training workshops where the course materials were delivered
  • enabled the participation of staff members of (new) CSIRTs in these training workshops, with a particular emphasis on the participation from the EU Accession States
  • disseminated the training course materials and ensured exploitation of the results.

Since the project ended in September 2005, TERENA and FIRST joined forces to organise further training workshops across Europe, with the help of financial support from various organisations. The more recent workshops have been co-organised and sponsored by the European Network and Information Security Agency (ENISA).
