Open Cyber Security Conference

People are passionate and have ideals as well as the will to respond to challenges that put our societies at risk. Any single person working alone might not have a great effect. But whenever you bring together such people, great ideas come to the surface and create the momentum for change. In our cyber security community, we have many inspired individuals like that, and they love to take action – but it‘s the “bringing together”, the organization that often needs a little push. It is this ingredient that OCF aims to provide. The ingredient needed to help people with ideas actually achieve their goals.

OCF promotes European and global coordination and cooperation between cyber security and incident management teams. The OCSC conference provides a forum for the exchange of goals, ideas, and information on how to improve cyber hygiene and resilience on a global scale.

We look forward to having you join us: As a contributor, as a sponsor, as a source of ideas, experience, curiosity, critic, ... and especially as a person willing to learn more and accept those challenges together with those working in the field!

The eye-catching Auditorio de Tenerife, located at the harbor of Santa Cruz in Tenerife reminds visitors of a massive, white ship. It was built in 1994 by the Valencian architect, Santiago Calatrava Valls. Its external walls are decorated with the typical Canarian Trencadís – which are small pieces of pottery that reflect the sunlight and give the building a sparkly appearance. You probably know this style of architecture from Park Güel, which was created by Antonio Gaudi in Barcelona.

The structure of the opera house is quite spectacular, with its different platforms, convoluted walls, and 50m high wave-construction on the ceiling. This all overlaps with a curvy roof that hovers above the dome of the Sala principal o Sinfónica, the Great Hall of Auditorio de Tenerife. This curved shape has resulted in the building being one of the most popular and iconic destinations on the entire island.

In addition to this curved feature, flights of stairs break up the mighty white external walls and, at the top, you will experience an amazing view of the sea in front of the Auditorio, with the Anaga-Mountains in the background.

FIRST aspires to bring together incident response and security teams from every country across the world to ensure a safe internet for all since 1990. It consists of cyber emergency response and security teams from over 670 corporations, government bodies, universities, and other institutions across 100 countries in the Americas, Asia, Europe, Africa, and Oceania.

TF-CSIRT is a European based collaboration of over 500 teams, many of them also FIRST members, that promotes collaboration and coordination between security teams managing and responding to security incidents and/or vulnerabilities in Europe and neighbouring regions, whilst liaising with FIRST at the global level, and with akin organisations in other regions.

The Open CSIRT Foundation (OCF) is an independent not-for-profit organisation with a mission – improving cyber hygiene & resilience worldwide. Since 2022, OCF is also the home of TF-CSIRT and its Trusted Introducer service maintaining the registry of trusted and vetted teams.

Well-attended and well-received, past conferences on this topic have attracted over a
thousand delegates from over 85 countries. The communities represented by FIRST and TF-CSIRT together are the most influential international assemblies of incident management and cyber security professionals.

Sponsorship Opportunities are limited and are on a first come, first served basis. Interested organizations should act quickly to ensure their sponsorship participation.
