On 30 and 31 of January, ENISA CTI-EU 2020 took place in Brussels. The conference was a splendid CTI bonding event bringing together 20 speakers, 160 participants and 9 vendors of CTI products.

Moreover, the content of the presentations was of high quality (see agenda here). Continue reading “ENISA CTI-EU 2020 Recap” →
