Description
Cyber attacks have become ubiquitous and attackers are targeting a wide range of services on the Internet. Resources involved in EGI are no exception and are constantly probed by attackers launching massive attacks that strive to find vulnerable machines anywhere. Successful attacks cause additional harm, including damage to the reputation of institutions and EGI. Therefore, EGI as well as service and machine operators have to be prepared to provide proper incident response to make sure security incidents are dealt with in a proper manner.
