FIRST CTI 2023 was again a blast! The conference took place on 6, 7, and 8 of November 2023 in Berlin. Once more, Berlin was a perfect place to host the conference and this time more than 350 people participated in the conference!! I really love the way of how the audience of this conference grows year by year without losing the its community element.

The FIRST CTI conference provides a gathering place for experts in the field to share knowledge, contribute ideas, and learn the latest in proactive approaches in relation to threat intelligence. The format is formal and includes management, technical, and hands-on components. Plenary content focuses on discussions that are more sensitive and related to the day-to-day work of participants. Workshops are interactive and taught by leading security experts in small workgroup settings. While the event has evolved since its humble origins in 2016, the main goal of the gathering has stayed true: to unite diverse stakeholders and provide an open forum for the development of new ideas.
FIRST is seeking speakers that would like to present on topics related to Cyber Threat Intelligence including:

FIRST CTI conference is my favourite CTI conference in Europe and last year it was a HUGE success! I am also pleased to present on how CTI teams can effectively operationalize their CTI process.
Yeap, it is this time of the year 😍 ! ENISA Threat Landscape 2023 has just been published! The report contains lots of great content and the recommendation here is to focus on the parts that are most relevant/interesting for you. Kudos to all the authors of the report and all who contributed to this deliverable.

On 1 October 2023, I attended SANS Institute DFIR Europe Summit in Prague. It was my first time participated in this conference and I really enjoyed the content shared. I loved the presentation from Simone Kraus (Orange) on “Threat Informed Defense & Detection Engineering with MITRE ATT&CK” and the one from Chris Doman (Cado Security) presenting on “A New Perspective on Resource-Level Cloud Forensics”.
From 2 to 7 October 2023, I did my first co-teach for SANS Cyber Threat Intelligence FOR578 course. I would like to thank all the students for their active participation and the perspectives they brought to the class. Moreover, I would love to thank SANS EMEA people for all their support.

On 28th September, 2023, I joined the Cybersecurity Market Analysis Conference organized by the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) in Heraklion, Crete, Greece. The objective of the conference was to promote a policy debate in the area of cybersecurity market analysis.
I had the pleasure to moderate a panel on the “Threat Landscape and Industry Response”. The panel comprised of four panelists that provided their insights on how the threat landscape and emerging technologies impact product security and development. Mikko Karikytö (Ericsson) , Siddhartha Rao (SAP ), Natalie Kilber (HARMAN International ), and Mark Woods (Splunk ).

On 13 September 2023, ENISA CTI-EU 2023 took place in Athens. I had the pleasure to attend and present during the conference and it was an opportunity to meet again with many of EU-based CTI peers.
My presentation was all about how CTI teams work with Physical Intelligence teams within organisations, common intelligence requirements, and knowledge transfer opportunities. My (biased) perspective on this cyber – physical collaboration journey was provided as well as a couple of 2 recent examples to showcase the value. Finally, the presentation concluded with a call to action: CTI teams should start the discussion with the physical intelligence teams (if this is not already happening), identify common areas for collaboration and intelligence requirements to work together, be prepared when major geopolitical events happen (spend time now to save time later in the future).
