About TRANSITS

TRANSITS has been a European project to promote the establishment of Computer Security Incident Response Teams (CSIRTs) and the enhancement of existing CSIRTs by addressing the problem of the shortage of skilled CSIRT staff. This goal has been addressed by providing specialist training courses to train staff of (new) CSIRTs in the organisational, operational, technical, market and legal issues involved in providing CSIRT services.

In particular, TRANSITS has

• developed, updated and regularly revised modular training course material
• organised training workshops where the course materials were delivered
• enabled the participation of staff members of (new) CSIRTs in these training workshops, with a particular emphasis on the participation from the EU Accession States
• disseminated the training course materials and ensured exploitation of the results.

The lifetime of the TRANSITS project was from 1 July 2002 until 30 September 2005. TERENA and FIRST have joined forces to organise further training workshops in Europe after the end of the project.

The next workshop is expected to take place toward the end of 2006. It will be announced here in due course.

The TRANSITS training course materials are copyright TERENA. Individual authors and their employers may also hold copyright in individual items. The whole, or part of these materials may be used, unaltered, for non-commercial training courses provided their origin is acknowledged and permission is obtained from TERENA.
