Speaker
Description
In 2024, InCommon is hosting its third annual Cyber Security Cooperation Exercise for federation member organizations, focused on using the REFEDS Sirtfi framework. Past years have highlighted that some organizations’ security teams are unaware of Sirtfi or have not updated their internal procedures to fully institutionalize federation cooperation when security incidents involve external federation partners. This exercise is open to eduGAIN and REFEDS members, with opportunities to get federation operators involved. Last year, we saw participation from New Zealand and Australian R&E trust federations. The call for participation will go out in September, inviting federation member organizations to participate in November’s distributed tabletop exercise. This call for participation goes to both the InCommon mailing list and the REFEDS mailing list. This lightning talk will be a five minute presentation with highlights of the exercise purpose and why such practice is important, some lessons learned from the past two years, and pitching that participation is not limited to InCommon but open to members across eduGAIN who participate in the REFEDS Sirtfi trust framework.
What will the TNC audience take away from your talk
Awareness that Sirtfi needs practice for security teams to become aware of it, and that the InCommon Sirtfi tabletop exercise is open to eduGAIN members participating in the Sirtfi framework.
