to you and your family on behalf of AfricaCERT Stakeholders,
Executive Committee, and Project Team.<br>
<br>
We had a year full of events. On December 2012, AfricaCERT
signed an MOU with the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation –
Computer Emergency<br>
Response Team (OIC-CERT). In January 2013, JPCERT sponsored the
application to join FIRST as liaison member and in February
2013, AfricaCERT <br>
joined FIRST (Forum of Incident Response and Security Team)<span style="text-indent:0px;letter-spacing:normal;font-variant:normal;text-align:left;font-style:normal;display:inline!important;font-weight:normal;float:none;line-height:20px;text-transform:none;font-size:13px;white-space:normal;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;word-spacing:0px"></span> as liaison.<br>
In June 2013, AfricaCERT participated at FIRST Annual Meeting in
Bangkok and had a very positive meeting in Lusaka, Zambia at the
African<br>
Internet Summit. AfricaCERT also participated at the second AIGF
in Nairobi, Kenya in September 2013.<br>
<br>
In November 2013, FIRST, in partnership with TERENA and
AfricaCERT, organized a TRANSITS training course ; JPCERT
conducted APDAY on Advanced Network Monitoring and Traffic<br>
Analysis with KrCERT in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire. AfricaCERT was
also honoured by the participation of EGCERT, the support of
ANSSI France, INTERPOL and<br>
few Law Enforcement Agencies in Africa. <br>
<br>
None of these would not have been possible without the
support of Partners, friends, the leadership of our elders;
network of contacts responding to our <br>
requests and last but not the least the AfricaCERT Project Team.<br>
<br>
Thank you sincerely for all your efforts and the continued
support.<br>
<br>
Next year has its own challenges . While AfricaCERT will
strengthen its operations, extending the network of friends, and
partners is a key challenge.<br>
Discussion have started with leading organizations and
professionals in the cybersecurity field on identifying areas of
collaboration.<br>
The awareness creation and capacity building operations with
additional trainings, workshops and a special attention towards
end users are on<br>
the agenda.<br>
<br>
AfricaCERT will also strengthen its relationship with the law
enforcement community, organizations like Interpol etc.<br>
<br>
Looking forward to 2014, AfricaCERT thanks your support and
wishes you Happy and Secure Holidays.<br>
<br>
Best Regards.<br>
<br>
Jean Robert<br>
