Since 2006, the CERT Coordination Center has been hosting an annual meeting for CSIRTs with national responsibility immediately following the FIRST conference. This meeting provides an opportunity for organizations responsible for protecting the security of nations, economies, and critical infrastructures to meet and discuss the unique challenges of their roles.

Beneficial to both new and established National CSIRTs, the meeting provides a forum for networking and collaboration. Discussions are participant-driven and often focus on current issues, tools, and methods relevant to the National CSIRT community. We will also be allocating some of the sessions for CSIRTs to give presentations on their collaborative work or research. If your team is involved in a collaborative or unique project that would be of interest to other National CSIRTs, we encourage you to consider presenting.
