International conference on IT incident management and IT forensics, Mannheim, Germany
23 September 2008 - 23 September 2008
Germany
The International conference on IT incident management and IT forensics (IMF 2008) will be held in Mannheim, Germany, from 23 to 25 September.
The event is organised annually by the special interest group 'Security-Intrusion Detection and Response' (SIDAR) of the German Informatics Society. It brings together international experts in order to discuss the state of the art in the areas of incident management and information technology forensics (IMF). IMF promotes collaboration and the exchange of ideas between industry, academia, law-enforcement and other government bodies.
Information technology (IT) has become crucial to almost every part of society. IT infrastructures have become critical in the world-wide economy, the financial sector, the health sector, the government's administration, the military, and the educational sector.
Although security is usually incorporated in the design process of IT systems nowadays, the process of maintaining security in the operation of IT infrastructures, in most cases, still lacks the appropriate attention. Management of and response to IT security incidents and their forensic analysis are not well established. The rising number of security incidents worldwide makes the implementation of incident management essential.For further information, please visit:
