Security working group to address emerging threats
One of the core components of RIPE 90’s agenda will be the Security Working Group (WG), scheduled to convene on Tuesday, 13 May at 16:00 WEST (UTC+1). The session will examine the latest developments in Internet security, with a strong emphasis on resilience and community response mechanisms.
The Working Group encourages contributions from both in-person and remote participants, aiming to foster an inclusive environment for knowledge-sharing on topics such as threat detection, incident coordination, and security policy implementation. The open format provides an opportunity for network operators, incident response teams, and infrastructure providers to exchange insights into practical challenges faced across different regions and sectors.
By facilitating peer-driven dialogue, the session intends to strengthen the operational security practices of the wider technical community.
