Submission Deadline: January 15, 1998
"The challenges of incident handling in a diverse world"
The Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST) was formed in
November 1990 to address the problem of an ever increasing number of
computer and network security related incidents, affecting thousands of
systems around the world. The forum is made up of government, private and
academic Computer Security Incident Response Teams from around the world.
Its primary goal is to coordinate the efforts of its members in order to
increase both their individual and collective effectiveness.
The annual Incident Handling Workshop is part of FIRST's ongoing
educational
program, which is aimed at increasing the general awareness of security
issues and improving expertise when handling computer security incidents.
Specific security problems can affect many individuals and organizations
around the world, possibly involving many different technological
environments. Each of the parties involved must tailor its actions to the
context in which the problem is experienced. Factors which must be taken
into account include:
* Cultural: The way in which a problem is tackled can be highly
influenced
by the historical development of the community in question. Examples
are the ability for open communication about problems or values
regarding
privacy.
* Professional: Today the Internet is open to the masses. The ease of
communication, the advent of electronic commerce, and the
availability of
information, makes it a playground and a library for the masses. It is
also a key business tool which professionals depend upon.
* Political: Political decisions of individual countries concerning key
areas of computer security, e.g. restrictions in the use and export of
cryptological technology, may change the way that security problems
must be approached. Legalities pertaining to diverse use of computer
systems vary widely between countries.
* Technological: Different technologies, covering a wide spectrum that
includes mainframes, unix workstations, personal computers and network
computers are connected to the same network simultaneously.
Who should attend?
__________________
All those responsible for any aspect of computer security management will
benefit from attending this workshop. This includes both members and
non-members of FIRST, law enforcement officials, computer security
incident
response teams, as well as consultants, contractors, vendors and
individuals
involved in the use, maintenance or planning of computer systems.
Why attend?
___________
The character of the Internet is changing rapidly. Not only has the
commercial community discovered new possibilities offered by "direct"
marketing and advertisement. Governmental and non-academic organizations
have also turned their attentions to the potential of the Internet.
Incident Handling must adapt to the changing user base of the Internet.
In addition to the opportunity for those involved in computer security to
get together and discuss all aspects of the subject, the workshop will
provide the opportunity to listen to experts in the fields of computer
security incident response and vulnerability analysis. They will share
their
valuable expertise by speaking about their experience in dealing
successfully
with the coordination of incidents traversing international boundaries,
highlighting particular problems where appropriate.
There is no other workshop dedicated to this topic in the world.
Important Dates:
________________
Abstract/Proposals Due: January 15, 1998
Authors Notified: February 10, 1998
Full Materials for Proceedings Due: April 1, 1998
Format of the workshop:
_______________________
The first day is allocated for parallel tutorial style presentations. The
remaining four days will consist of conference paper and workshop style
presentations, as well as FIRST business sessions. One evening is
allocated
for participants to hold events devoted to subjects of particular interest
("birds of a feather" sessions).
All events will be selected to further the objectives of FIRST and its
members. They may involve topics such as computer security incident
handling,
team and incident response coordination, tools, international issues, or
work in progress.
A list of example topics can be found at the end of this announcement.
Contributions should follow the following guidelines:
Tutorials: Half or full day tutorial proposals will be considered.
Papers: Written papers may be as long as desired, but
presentations
must be limited to 30 minutes.
Workshop: These informal sessions should either follow a more
"hands-on" approach or provide for a high degree of
audience participation. They should be tailored to address
specific issues and should be from 60 to 90 minutes
in duration. Panel Sessions on a particular topic are
acceptable.
Submission information:
_______________________
Submissions should include an abstract, proposed length and single page of
notes describing the content and style of the presentation. Special
audio/visual requirements (other than one microphone and one overhead
projector) should be described. Panel session proposals should include a

sent to the contact address given at the end of this document. The
preferred submission mechanism is via electronic mail in ASCII, HTML or
PostScript formats. Submissions via Facsimile transmission or the postal
service will, however, be accepted. Submissions must be received by the
