IT Security and Incident Response

Ever wondered what was the difference between a botnet and a botnet herder, a bullet-proof hosting and a dead-drop?

The meaning of these, and other hi-tech crime terminology, is revealed in a very useful BBC web page, which can be accessed by clicking on the following link:

ARC Training will be conducting a new IT Security and Incident Response course during the period 9-10 October. Led by renowned IT security expert Ed Wilding, topics will include:

- IT threats to the organisation
- Legal issues relating to IT crime and misuse
- Analysing an IT scene of crime
- Managing IT evidence
- Investigating IT misuse

The programme is ideally suited for security managers who wish to raise their level of competence in this problematic area.
