CERT-SE:s veckobrev v.20

Veckobrev

I samband med statsbesöket tidigare i veckan besökte det svenska kungaparet och en delegation från Finland bestående av ministrar och presidentens fru MSB för att få en bättre bild av hur det svensk-finska samarbetet inom krisberedskap ser ut. Bland annat fick representanter från CERT-SE möjlighet att ge en inblick i hur den operativa hanteringen av it-incidenter går till. Om detta och mycket annat kan ni läsa i veckobrevet nedan.

Trevlig helg önskar CERT-SE!
