Workshop: Protecting Research and Education Networks from DDoS - What's Working, What's Not
- Eugene Brin (DFN-CERT)
Description
DDoS attacks keep evolving, and they're not getting any easier to deal with. For research and education networks, it's less about fighting yesterday's battles and more about figuring out what's coming next. This sidemeeting is a chance for security people, NOCies, researchers, and anyone making decisions about network defense to get together, compare notes, and figure out how we can do this better: Together.
We're keeping the same two-part setup that worked well last time. First up, colleagues from European research and education networks will walk through what they've been working on lately: the technical stuff, what's actually working in operations, and the things that didn't go as planned. Real experiences from the field.
Then we switch to open discussion. This is where it gets provocative. Round table, panel format, whatever works for the room. The whole point is getting people talking. Bring your experiences, your questions, your "why doesn't this work better" frustrations. The best stuff usually comes from these conversations.
We'll keep going as long as it's useful with a hard stop at 17:00.
