The worldwide economy, public administration, health care, education and even personal life depend on working IT. Constriction of the availability of its service, loss of confidentiality or alteration of data processed, or loss of integrity of the IT infrastructure usually lead to serious or disastrous consequences. Hence security plays an increasingly important role for operators and users of IT systems and infrastructures. The establishment of static security measures like policies, standards, and guidelines slowly but steadily is getting more common amongst IT operators. Nevertheless in the vast majority of cases operators do not have the capability to detect and respond to security incidents or do a forensic analysis of its traces that can be used in a lawsuit. Jurisdiction in most countries is starting to change and applies regulations on legal duty to maintain safety on operators of IT. Hence incident response and forensic capabilities become indispensable to avoid successful assertion of claims for damages caused by compromised or misused systems. IMF's intent is to gather experts from throughout the world in order to present and discuss recent technical and methodical advances in the fields of IT security incident response and management and IT forensics. The conference provides a platform for collaboration and exchange of ideas between industry, academia, law-enforcement and other government bodies.
