http://www.gulf-times.com/site/topics/article.asp?cu_no=2&item_no=76519&version=1&template_id=36&parent_id=16 Staff Reporter 12 March, 2006 THE Qatar Computer Emergency Response Team (Q-CERT) will host a workshop on Creating a Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT) on March 26. The CSIRT is a team of information security personnel within an organisation. Establishing a CSIRT is essential to developing an awareness of the importance of information security to the normal stream of business and to developing the capability to respond to and resolve information security incidents in a timely manner. This workshop is designed for managers and project leaders who are considering implementing a CSIRT in their own organisations. It will provide a high-level overview of the key issues and decisions that must be addressed to establish a CSIRT. As part of the workshop, attendees will develop an action plan as a starting point in planning and implementing their CSIRT. The creation of a CSIRT is often the preliminary step to evolving an information security strategy that considers the business needs of the organisation. The capacity of this first Q-CERT offering will be limited. Those interested should contact the Q-CERT at register@private for additional information and registration. _________________________________ InfoSec News v2.0 - Coming Soon! http://www.infosecnews.org
