responsible for protecting the security of nations, economies, and critical
infrastructures to meet and discuss issues and challenges they face and moreover
provides a forum
for collaboration and networking among these organizations. We would be delighted to
have you present on the African CSIRTs Day Meeting where you will be allocated ten (10)
minutes to present your CSIRT activities and the issues/Challenges you are facing.

For planning purpose, kindly confirm your participation before April 28, 2017. Note: The
Hotel is filling fast and is almost full.
