13. Main takeaways

Congratulations, you have reached the end of the module. In the concluding part, we will reflect on the key takeaways from this module, leaving some additional space for you to write down the points which seem important to you and are not included above. 

With the use of resources, examples, reflections and exercises, we have addressed the importance of cyber incident management and the building of cybersecurity capacities through the establishment of a Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT).  We have familiarized ourselves with the services that CSIRTs offer as well as identified the tools and skills required to run a CSIRT.  Finally, we have discussed the importance of regional and international cooperation and identified the requirements for membership in regional and international CSIRT networks such as AfricaCERT, FIRST and OIC-CERT.
