SANS DFIR Prague 2023
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.

A couple of months ago, my classmate Xenofon Fafoutis kindly invited me for a guest lecture at the Department of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science of the Technical University of Denmark. Thus, on 27th April I was pleased to present to DTU students the basic concepts of cyber threat intelligence, the current threat landscape (with a focus on ransomware and state-sponsored threats), as well as the CTI analyst skillset.
See below the slide deck of the lecture:

Intelligence Requirements: the Sancho Panza of CTI

On 17 September 2019, I participated in ENISA’s NIS Summer School 2019 that took place in Heraklion, Greece. The Summer School had 4 parallel training sessions (CTI, CyberDefence, Incident Response and Crypto) and the participants were mostly graduate students as well as infosec professionals.
I joined the CTI training sessions as an instructor for “Intelligence Requirements” as well as “CTI Reporting”. In this post, I will focus mostly on the session that was about Intelligence Requirements. Intelligence requirements is something that is very close to my heart and it was my pleasure to present this concept to the students of the summer school.
