BELTUG challenges CERT.be

As professionals, we all care about security and want to take every necessary measure to safeguard our valuable enterprise data. To advise users on updates and alerts regarding ongoing Internet threats, the government has created the "Belgian National Computer Emergency Response Team". Speed is of the essence.

If you want to know more about "Attack Vectors", "Cross-site Scripting", "Ubuntu" or "Red Hat" updates, BELTUG invites you to meet Lionel Ferette, the head of the CERT.be department.

In this session, Lionel Ferette will first explain what CERT is doing exactly. The second part will deal with how companies are informed and how they can inform CERT.be of a noticed incident. The presentation will conclude with some concrete examples of advisories that CERT.be has elaborated in the past few weeks. In the week of January 11 – 15 alone, 37 advisories were given. The discussion period will allow you to fine-tune how organisations like yours benefit from these services and how fast communication flows can be set up.

The session will take place 4 March from 10:00 to 12:00.
