Abstract:

Security and privacy are intrinsically connected. Every security incident has privacy implications, and every privacy decision relies on underlying security controls. In research and education environments, where openness, collaboration and data sharing are core values, this connection is even more pronounced. Yet in practice, security and privacy professionals still often operate... -

The evolution of R&E network design has shifted focus from connectivity, to performance in the early 2000s, to reliability, and most recently, to security. Nowadays, reliability and security are integrated due to increased cyber threats and physical sabotage.
In 2025, a group of experts from the global NREN community, as part of the GNA-G (Global Network Architecture Group), held around 10...

The rise of generative AI has changed how cyberattacks work, placing human judgement and attention at the centre of the threat landscape. From deepfakes and voice cloning to emotionally targeted phishing and synthetic identities, AI-driven deception exploits trust, attention, and decision-making.

A presentation of gamification in the field of cybersecurity. How to teach people about various cybersecurity topics in a fun and simple way. The presentation will demonstrate that tasks do not have to be only on paper or on a screen, but how to introduce tactile actions and stimulate interest. The presentation will show several types of "tasks" that game organizers can adapt to the topics...

With over 600 connected organisations of varying size, skills and resources, creating a sense of community among cyber security professionals to ask questions, share threat intelligence, host webinars and advertise cyber-related vacancies was the vision that led to the creation of the Jisc Cyber Security Community. In this talk we will give an overview of how the Jisc Cyber Community has grown...

We propose a lightning talk about the GÉANT Security Innovation Lab, what it is and how to join.
The GÉANT Security Innovation Lab is a new initiative designed to strengthen and accelerate security-related innovation across the European research and education networking community. Positioned as an incubator, the Lab provides a shared environment where security research projects from NRENs...

Hearing the first time about cybersecurity is exciting! You will learn how to hack things and learn how to defend against hackers. Red team, blue team and even purple team, but no one has told me that I will become more aware of security, or rather, become more aware of the lack of security in my surroundings. This awareness can grow into something much more than just being aware – “being paranoid”.

Adversaries move faster than our blocklists. A growing share of malicious infrastructure is transient: domains are registered, abused for phishing or C2, then dropped within hours. Many disappear before they ever appear in daily zone file snapshots or threat intelligence feeds. For our community, this activity is effectively invisible to standard reputation systems.
In this lightning talk I...

A mental model is the internal map we use to understand how something works. It allows us to predict outcomes, see connections, and make better decisions, especially in complex environments. Without a coherent mental model, we rely on isolated rules; with one, we can reason, adapt, and develop a stronger sense of self-efficacy.
As a practitioner I’ve realised, that many people don’t have a...

Effective SOC and threat intelligence operations depend on having complete visibility into the Internet, where attackers operate and infrastructure constantly changes. Comprehensive coverage ensures unknown assets and adversary infrastructure are discovered, while fresh data enables timely detection of rapidly evolving threats. When combined with deep contextual information—such as services,...

Across our campuses, cyber‑physical systems (building management, HVAC, access control, lab automation) have quietly become part of our critical infrastructure. But while these systems keep our universities running, they were never designed for a threat landscape where attackers can pivot from a thermostat to a domain controller… or from a building sensor to a research network.
In five...
