You may be aware of the launch by the government of CISP - the Cyber Security Information Sharing Partnership.
It's a web based environment in which various sector communities can come together to share information and collaborate on common threats and incidents. The focus is very much on operations and people who are in positions to take action to defend their organisations. There's a framework based on the Traffic Light Protocol for how far information can be shared.
In response to feedback earlier in the year we've been able to arrange for an externally certified Lead Implementer course in London on the 11th-13th of August, which we can provide to you at a reduced cost of £870.00 plus VAT.
Details, and the booking form are available at: https://www.ja.net/events/it-governance-iso27001-certified-isms-lead-implementer-course

The first public draft of the Government's Implementation Profile for Basic Cyber Hygiene is available for comment on the BSI website.
On Tuesday I had the opportunity to read and provide feedback on the first draft of the government's "Implementation Profile for Basic Cyber Hygiene". This document comes as a result of their consultation last year on "Cyber security organisational standards".
CSIRT's annual Security Birds of a Feather session at Networkshop. As usual this will be an opportunity for the free form discussion of security issues affecting your systems and Janet.
