Dubai Set to Stage International Malware Analysis Workshop
The Honeynet Project comes to Dubai this year to stage its twelfth annual workshop where the very latest information and technology on malware analysis will be on show. The United Arab Emirates’ Computer Emergency Response Team (aeCERT), an initiative of the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA), is sponsoring the three day event starting on 10th February 2013 and will be held at the Address Dubai Mall Hotel.
“Cyber security is a critical element for any nation working towards technical advancement,” said H.E. Mohamed Nasser Al Ghanim, Director General of TRA. “I am pleased the TRA and aeCERT are participating in this event; hands-on and knowledge-intensive workshops such as this are invaluable as we work towards reinforcing the nation’s cyber security.”
“Cyber security is not a ‘one-man’ job, it is dependent on the proactive collaboration of groups spanning government, industry and academia,” said Ahmad Al Ajail, Security Intelligence & Threat Analyst. “This is why initiatives such as Honeynet, which provide a diverse talent base, are greatly complementary to the nation’s cyber security and to our work at aeCERT.”
The workshop includes one full day of briefings and two full days of hands-on tutorial trainings. Founded in 1999, The Honeynet Project is a non-profit international research organization dedicated to improving the security of the Internet at no cost to the public.
Composed of 45 regional chapters, the Honeynet Project and is a diverse, talented, and engaged group of hundreds of volunteer security experts who conduct open, cross disciplinary research and development into the evolving threat landscape.
