Why bother with security? • Ignoring threats cost resources • D(D)oS - It costs to be offline • Data theft – Backups do not help much when sensitive information is stolen • Compromise – How much does your reputation cost? • .. So what is an idea for a solution?
The CLOSER project CLusterOfSEcurityResources • 3rd call IST 6FP • Goals: • Learn and describe current situation in Europe • Build and strengthen awareness of security overall and the incident handling services in particular • Exchanging experiences of the existing CSIR Teams • Transferring these experiences and knowledge to newly established teams
The CLOSER project • Final remarks • NRENs are tidbits for hackers • Regardless of it will be CERT or just CERT’s services – having it will pay off • We do not know whether the CLOSER project will be approved or not • Anyway we promise to help anybody who is interesing as much as possible Daddy, I can see that hackers don’t sleep!
CERT Polska Daddy, I can see that hackers don’t sleep!
