Meeting open standards: essential knowledge for municipalities

On 12 May, we are teaming up with Govroam and the Standardisation Forum to organise a knowledge exchange session devoted to open internet standards. Held in Arnhem, the session will be geared specifically to the needs of municipalities. We'll be providing practical advice about which open standards municipalities need to meet and how to go about implementing them.

Who is the session for?

Are you an ICT policy-maker at a municipal authority? There's a warm welcome awaiting you at SIDN's offices in Arnhem. Our knowledge session is designed to provide people like you with all the technical information you need about the most important open internet standards. The emphasis is on practical implementation: what's the best way to proceed?

Interesting programme

We have put together an interesting programme, with particular emphasis on the risks associated with unsecured e-mail and internet use. How can the available standards improve your security? We describe a best practice case in each field.

  • KING's DMARC pilot at thirty municipalities. What are the main findings and outcomes?

  • Govroam: secure wi-fi access for staff and visitors. How can you arrange it for your municipality?

  • DNSSEC: the importance of signing your domain name and setting up DNSSEC validation. DNSSEC prevents internet traffic being misdirected to fake websites.

When and where?

The knowledge session takes place on 12 May, at Meander 501, Arnhem, the Netherlands. We'll be starting at 13:30 and bringing the main programme to a close at 16:30. After that, refreshments will be served, and you'll have the opportunity to mingle with colleagues from other municipalities.
