The workshop

ENISA, together with the experts from the CERT Coordination Centre (Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) organised the third edition of its information sharing workshop "CERTs in Europe".

Again, this workshop brought together experts from established CERTs with newcomers, project managers and policy makers from the EU Member States involved with CERT initiatives. The renowned experts from CERT/CC organised the program and co-chaired the workshop.

The program and the discussion this year were dedicated to the role of CERTs in mitigating massive cyber attacks - Cooperation as a key-factor for success.
Massive cyber attacks like DDoS are hard to mitigate and demand a lot of coordination and cooperation from various parties, as demonstrated once again during the recent attacks against Estonia. Our goal was to give the EU Member States and other European participants the opportunity to discuss this topic further and take advantage of the presence of established teams, the experts from CERT/CC and ENISA.
