One of the missions of the Center of Excellence in Information Systems Assurance Research and Education (CEISARE) is to increase awareness in information assurance (IA) by arranging seminars, conferences and workshops. The goal of this five and half-day workshop is to educate customers in banking and financial institutions in the area of IA and management so that they are better prepared to deal with malicious attacks targeted at their systems and network. In this week-long workshop, we will cover the following topics - Management of information security, Risk analysis and mitigation, Cyber attacks and countermeasures, Collection and analysis of digital evidence. The topics will be covered by experienced instructors from both academia and industries with prior experience of teaching and firsthand experience in the field. The workshop will include interactive teaching and case studies and a visit to a nearby corporate network operations center (NOC)*.
