TRANSITS training

TRANSITS evolved out of a European Commission funded project (IST-2001-39118, 1 July 2002 - 30 September 2005) to promote the establishment of CSIRTs by addressing the shortage of skilled staff. The seven training workshops organised by the project proved so successful that TERENA continued to run them after the project finished in September 2005. These have been run with financial support from ENISA, FIRST and various other organisations, whilst the course material has also been utilised for other workshops all around the world.

ENISA is supporting the successful TRANSITS program for CSIRT staff members taking place at least twice a year in Europe. The TRANSITS program consists of basic and advanced (hands on) courses.

TRANSITS-I

The TRANSITS-I course is aimed at new or potential CSIRT personnel who wish to gain a good grounding in the main aspects of working in an incident handling and response team. Over the years, operatives have been trained for commercial, governmental, military and national CSIRTs, as well as those in the research and education sector.

More information about TRANSITS-I

TRANSITS II

The TRANSITS-II course is aimed at more experienced personnel working for established CSIRTs. It provides an in-depth study of key areas in incident handling and response operations, training in how to improve communications with constituents, along with practical exercises.

We are happy to inform you that this year our 7th annual CERT workshop will focus on hands-on training exclusively for the EU national/governamental CERT teams, free of charge and by invitation only.

ENISA, supported by the well known Internet security research firm Team Cymru, will offer 2 days of deep technical dive into topics like botnets,  mobile malware and other interesting topics.

The workshop will be hosted by University of Malta.

Team Description in Accordance with RFC 2350
CERT-EU has published a document to provide basic information about the CERT-EU Pre-Configuration Team, its channels of communication, and its roles and responsibilities.

Context
In recent years, CERTs have been developed in both the private and public sectors. These teams are made up of small numbers of cyber-experts who are connected to the internet and who can effectively and efficiently respond to information security incidents and cyber threats, often on a 24 hours a day, 7days a week basis.

In the Digital Agenda for Europe adopted in May 2010 (see IP/10/581, and MEMO/10/200), the Commission committed itself to establishing a CERT for the EU Institutions, as part of the EU's commitment to a reinforced and high level EU Network and Information Security Policy in Europe. In August 2010 the Commission requested four cyber-security experts known as the "Rat der IT Weisen" to make recommendations on how to set up such a CERT. Their report was finalised in November 2010.

The Digital Agenda also calls on all Member States to establish their own CERTs, paving the way to an EU-wide network of national and governmental Computer Emergency Response Teams by 2012 (see IP/11/395). The EU's Council of Telecoms Ministers adopted conclusions on 27th May 2011, confirming this objective.
