Cisco CSIRT Mobile Networking and Monitoring for FIRST 2017 Conference

Cisco's Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT) has developed a mobile monitoring and networking solution for providing on-site network and computer security monitoring during conferences and events. The first use of the solution at FIRST 2007 was showcased in a Cisco-on-Cisco article. In 2012, Cisco CSIRT had a deployment at the Cisco House of the London Olympics. The CSIRT team monitors 2-3 events per year with this kit, and usually sends 1-2 people to each event to provide security monitoring and a follow-up report.
