Tracking, analyzing and describing threats and vulnerabilities with Taranis

Summary: In order to streamline her vulnerability management capabilities, GOVCERT.NL has developed a tool called Taranis. This tool is designed to help CERT's/CSIRT's to manage the constant flow of information from a variety of sources, and to inform relevant constituents of threats and new vulnerabilities. Taranis is developed in-house and is being shared among partners and other trusted parties.

This workshop is aimed at current and potential users of Taranis and at security specialists responsible for tracking, analyzing and describing threats and vulnerabilities.

There are no special pre-requisites for people willing to attend this course.

To be able to carry out the hands-on exercises, we will supply a VMware-based image of Taranis. To be able to use this image, you are required to bring your own laptop equipped with:

• VMware Player 2 or 3 (or any other virtual machine that can handle VMware-images like VMware Fusion for Mac OS X and Sun VirtualBox).
