Cybersecurity Tournament Brussels (February 2018)

The Cybersecurity Tournament is a group of arenas where participants are challenged by the arena's organizer
(such as a cybersecurity or telecommunication company) in the field of cybersecurity. It is an opportunity to allow
students, practitioners and companies active in cybersecurity to meet and learn about one another by challenging
each other. It is an opportunity for a company to display their expertise, what challenges could await students if
they were to join the company, etc. and vice versa.

It has been requested if students from Flemish university colleges can participate

GDPR Compliance Like it or Not

The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the most important change in data privacy regulation in 20 years - we're here to make sure you're prepared.

 The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a new law designed to increase privacy rights for individuals in the European Union (EU), to create consistency across multiple jurisdictions, and to hold companies accountable. Under GDPR, organizations can’t get away with egregious misuse of personal information or they’ll face big fines. Plus they’ll also have to protect the information with “appropriate security” measures as well.

The compliance deadline is May 25, 2018. Of course, it’s far too early to predict the weather on that day, but it’s not too soon to prepare your organization for GDPR. Just the opposite. In fact, the law is 260 pages with 99 rules (called “Articles or Law”) that you must follow. They cover not only individuals’ privacy rights, but also include cybersecurity principles necessary to properly protect personal information. It requires notification of a data breach within 72 hours of discovery. That’s not a lot of time.

So here’s where we ask: How ready are you for GDPR?

New Security+ SY0-501 exam

CompTIA made public the new Security+ SY0-501 exam. Version SY0-501 is designed to better reflect today's best practices for risk management and risk mitigation. The updated exam covers a greater emphasis on a security professional's practical and hands-on ability to both identify and address security threats, attacks and vulnerabilities.

The new version has also been updated to reflect how cybersecurity jobs are becoming more specialized. As new skills like security analytics become more prevalent, skills covered in Security+ have become a baseline for all cybersecurity jobs. Because of this, the importance of and demand for Security+ has increased for a broader variety of job roles.

Fragment of the new CCNA Cyber Operations Course

Members of BiASC can register to be enrolled for free in this course by sending an email to <[email protected]>.
This part of the Cyber Operations course describes the role of people active in IT Security. If you look closely, there is a job for different profiles.

The SANS Institute (www.sans.org) classifies the roles people play in a SOC into four job titles:

• Tier 1 Alert Analyst – These professionals monitor incoming alerts, verify that a true incident has occurred, and forward tickets to Tier 2, if necessary.

 

• Tier 2 Incident Responder- These professionals are responsible for deep investigation of incidents and advise remediation or action to be taken.

 

• Tier 3 Subject Matter Expert (SME)/Hunter – These professionals have expert-level skill in network, endpoint, threat intelligence, and malware reverse engineering. They are experts at tracing the processes of the malware to determine its impact and how it can be removed. They are also deeply involved in hunting for potential threats and implementing threat detection tools.

 

• SOC Manager – This professional manages all the resources of the SOC and serves as the point of contact for the larger organization or customer.

 

This course offers preparation for a certification suitable for the position of Tier 1 Alert Analyst, also known as Cybersecurity Analyst.
