In an age where cyber threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated, organizations need a robust framework to respond effectively to incidents. VLC Security, headquartered in Minato City, Tokyo, is at the forefront of providing insights into cybersecurity practices. Their Monthly Comprehensive Seminar Series is designed to equip attendees with the latest knowledge and hands-on skills needed to navigate these complex threats.

Upcoming Seminar Details

Title: "Mastering CSIRT Scenario Drills: What Should You Do? A Thorough Explanation of Practical Design and Methods to Empower During Incidents"

• - Date: May 27, 2026
• - Time: 16:30 - 17:30
• - Speaker: Masafumi Kawamura, Executive Trainer at VLC Security Arena
• - Registration: Sign up here

This seminar aims to assist professionals who are tasked with designing and implementing CSIRT (Computer Security Incident Response Team) scenario drills. It challenges attendees to think critically about how to establish effective response mechanisms, covering fundamental questions such as, "What should I design, and how should I proceed?" Without clear insights, exercise implementations often become mere formalities lacking substance.

Why Attend?

1. Understanding CSIRT Exercises: Many organizations find themselves in a quandary over the levels and methodology of scenario drills. This seminar is anchored in the principles outlined by IPA (Information-technology Promotion Agency), allowing participants to design repeatable and practical exercise patterns.

2. Practical Preparations: Preparation is paramount for success in real incident scenarios. This includes understanding how to develop key documents such as response manuals, flow charts, and incident response communication sheets. These elements are often overlooked yet essential during critical incidents, when timely communication and information management are vital.

3. Hands-on Knowledge: These sessions prioritize actionable knowledge over theoretical understanding. Masafumi Kawamura brings over 35 years of experience in embedded control systems and various business application developments. As a seasoned CYBERGYM instructor with over 100 sessions annually, he has a wealth of knowledge in providing practical insights that connect exercise theory with real-world applications.

Who Should Participate?

• - Individuals responsible for planning and designing CSIRT exercises but struggling with the process or level settings.
• - Those currently managing exercises but feel they lack real-world applicability and effectiveness.
• - Anyone who wishes to rethink the integration of exercises and preparatory measures to develop a functional system during an incident.

Learning Outcomes

Participants will walk away with:

• - Techniques for designing reproducible scenario drills based on IPA's principles.
