FIRST and CERT looking for submissions of system and network security best practices

The Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST) and the CERT Coordination Center will host a best practices contest during the 2008 FIRST annual conference in Vancouver, Canada. The purpose is to identify and share the computer security incident response team (CSIRT) community's best practices in order to help organizations use methods that most effectively mitigate security threats.

All interested parties are encouraged to submit the best practices they use to improve and maintain a high standard of information security. Submissions are due by April 30, 2008.

An evaluation committee will review the submitted best practices and give an award for the top two. FIRST and the CERT Coordination Center will present the awards during the 2008 FIRST annual conference.

The first place will be awarded with USD 5,000, and the second place a USD 2,500 award.
