<p style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt; overflow-wrap: break-word;"><br />Description: The purpose of this training is to provide ISPs and other service platform operators with an understanding of what's required to effectively respond to abuse incidents. The session will focus on the abuse desk team's role, what to look for in team members, how incidents are generated and processed, and finally what the results of the Abuse Desk should look like.</p>

<p style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt; overflow-wrap: break-word;">Topics:<br />* Purpose of the Abuse Desk: The industry responsibilities and business<br />justifications for an organization to form such a team. In many regions<br />of the world, we have heard that costs and lack of revenue generation<br />are a factor in the negligence of such a team. We will address that by<br />quantifying the value of the team. The Abuse Desk Team Members: How do<br />you hire appropriate and relevant staff and maintain their skills and<br />mental health. This will include portions of presentations given<br />on the importance of mental health considerations within an incident response<br />team that may be dealing with inappropriate, violent, or offensive content.</p>
<p style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt; overflow-wrap: break-word;">* Abuse Desk Incidents: This will cover the life-cycle of a policy or<br />security incident as it involves a customer. The training assumes<br />complete manual intake and response but will go on to provide guidance<br />on where automation can and should be applied with available resources.<br />Results and Reporting: Sharing the teams' success both internally and<br />with the industry. Tying back to the business justification, this will<br />include a conversation on cost analysis with the purpose of quantifying<br />what the team has achieved for an organization.</p>
