NIIF Iroda

The last few years, meanwhile the HBONE network was developed extensively, the handling of security problems of the network not improved comparably. The increase of security incidents are not only direct proportion of network development, but other factors as well, like increase of popularity of the Internet, lack of human resources and the fact that networked systems became more and more complex.

In the NIIF CSIRT project we started to handle the security incidents in network of NIIF/HUNGARNET. We initiated the cooperation in security incident prevention, and avoidance to be in sync with the European level network service of NIIF/HUNGARNET. The goal of the NIIF CSIRT project to handle and prevent security problems of HUNGARNET network (inclusive the HBONE network and networks of members). We would like to help users of HBONE collecting informations and best current practices on secure network computing.

In the presentations we will show the latest result of the project, our experiences, our strategy in NIIF CSIRT and background of the project.
