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:

  • How can you tell if your organization’s CTI program is working well?
  • Finding the needle in the haystack: how do we prioritize effectively?
  • Failing forward: share case studies that highlight failures and/or successes of using CTI.
  • Operationalizing CTI: effective or innovative tooling/technology for protection, detection, response, and CTI support.
  • Overcoming CTI integration challenges in your SOC.
  • CTI creation, enrichment, and refinement tips and tricks.
  • CTI in context with digital forensics.
  • Intelligence tradecraft wasn’t invented yesterday: applying classic intelligence approaches to CTI.
  • CTI deep dives into specific threat actors.
  • CTI 101 operationalization: intelligence requirements, threat modeling, collection management.
  • Structuring CTI teams and career development for CTI analysts.

As a member of the Program Committee, I am looking forward to your submissions. Don’t procrastinate as the Call for Papers Closes on 13 December 2023.

See you in Berlin ;)
