The OCSC is a unique event to celebrate 30 years of international collaboration of European cyber security and
incident management teams within a truly global community of trusted practitioners. But instead of looking back,
the conference will focus on the future of security incident management and how to address the challenges ahead.
Organized by the OpenCSIRT Foundation (OCF) in close collaboration with TF-CSIRT and FIRST.
A unique event to celebrate
Our goals
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.
The conference
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.
Join us
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!
An exclusive place to be
Auditorio Adán Martín Menis
Avenue la Constitución 1
38003 Santa Cruz de Tenerife
Spain
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.
The Agenda
The event aims to foster existing and build new beneficial relationships for development,
cooperation, and coordination. A showcase of technology providers completes the program.
A program committee will support the composition and selection of the content and presenters in
early autumn 2023. The entire program agenda will be available by mid-November 2023.
