Cotonou is hosting from 5 to 8 October 2021 the week of the Computer Security Incident Response Teams (CSIRTs) of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). The proceedings were officially opened on Tuesday 5 October 2021 by Mr Ouanilo MEDEGAN FAGLA, Director General of Benin's National Information Systems Security Agency (ANSSI).
During this week, professionals working in the CSIRTs of the ECOWAS countries and Mauritania, together with high-level cybersecurity experts, are meeting for this event, which aims to promote esprit de corps among CSIRTs and to create the conditions that will foster ties and relationships between individuals and between institutions. It will also be an opportunity for countries that do not yet have an operational CSIRT to exchange information and learn from the experience of other professionals who work in CSIRTs and have set them up.
Mr Ouanilo MEDEGAN FAGLA expressed the hope that, at the end of the ECOWAS CSIRT Week, each participant would leave having forged cooperative ties with the others, beyond the relations between the entities of the various countries.
Plenary sessions, round tables, conferences, technical demonstrations and master classes are among the activities that will fill this ECOWAS CSIRT Week in Cotonou.
