NatCSIRT 2025
June 27-28 | Copenhagen, Denmark
The Call for Presentations (CFP) is now open!
The CERT® Division of the Software Engineering Institute at Carnegie Mellon University and the NatCSIRT 2024 Program Committee invite you to submit a presentation for the 20th Annual Technical Meeting for CSIRTs with National Responsibility (NatCSIRT 2025). The meeting will be held in person on June 27-28, 2025, at the conclusion of the annual FIRST conference. This invitation-only meeting is restricted to technical and managerial staff members of National CSIRTs.
The meeting provides a forum for National CSIRTs to share information, tools, techniques, and strategies that address problems unique to CSIRTs that are responsible for a nation or economy. Send your submission by Monday, March 3, 2025 to natcsirt-meeting@cert.org.
Focus Areas
The Program Committee has selected the following Focus Areas for this year’s CFP:
Cooperation/Coordination
- Collaborating with other National CSIRTs
- Real-time communications
- Persistent communication beyond the NatCSIRT meeting
- Communication mechanisms
- Incident response coordination use cases/lessons learned
- Managing partnerships and stakeholders
- Working with cloud providers, ISPs, or social media platforms
- Communicating with government officials to improve laws and policies
Lightning Talks
Do you have a 5-minute talk that the National CSIRT community could benefit from hearing about? Follow the submission instructions and list “Lightning Talk” as the type (leave Focus Area blank).
Note: If you have a topic that you are not sure fits into any of the focus areas, please submit it anyway! Also, when developing your abstract, please consider whether it is relevant to teams of all sizes and capability levels. If it is not, look for ways to identify how those other teams can still benefit from the information and include that in the abstract.

Limit your presentation to 20 minutes (including time for questions). Limit panels/facilitated discussions or other formats to 40-60 minutes (including time for questions).
Abstracts for panels, facilitated discussions, and other formats are also encouraged. For formats other than presentations, feel free to suggest countries/teams to be participants (or let us know if you need assistance in getting participants), the number of panelists, and a topic/question list and other details as needed to demonstrate how the time will be used.
