The two organizations provided case studies in network security response, hands on training on DNS security, network protection and handling. According to ICANN's Director for Global Security Programs [[Yurie Ito]], ''"We had participation from across Africa, and as a result we now see a number of countries interested in setting up their own national-level cyber security incident response teams. Through our work with FIRST, we hope to set the stage for a better level of Internet security throughout the African continent."''<ref>[http://www.prweb.com/releases/2010/03/prweb3695284.htm International Workshop Endorses Principles of Security Incident Response for Africa]</ref>
