2nd International Workshop on Cyber Threat Intelligence Management (CyberTIM 2019)
to be held in conjunction with ARES 2019

)
University of Kent, Canterbury, UK August 26 – August 29, 2019
The increased sophistication of cyber-attacks has created a technology arm race between attackers and defenders. However, this arm race is not fought in equal terms. Defenders are falling behind due to lack of manpower coupled with an overwhelming number of sophisticated attacks, e.g. advanced persistent threats, making cyber defense extremely difficult. This is also due to lack of collaboration among the network security solutions, e.g., intrusion detection systems and honeypots, which are in possession of different organizations across the globe.
In the recent years, organizations like CERTs, NRENs, as well as industry organizations are moving towards proactive detection capabilities leveraging Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) platforms. These platforms aim at advanced alert aggregation, correlation, and prioritization considering the asset criticality of organizations as well as the quality of shared threat intelligence. The goal of CyberTIM is to bring the industry practitioners, researchers, engineers, and academic researchers together from the domain of network security, network measurements, cyber incident monitoring, trust & risk management, cyber situational awareness, security analytics, and security visualization.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to
Network Intrusions
Cyber threat detection
Cyber threat prediction
End-to-End threat intelligence
Threat Intelligence sharing
Collaborative Intrusion Detection
Blockchain-based TI sharing
Cyber situational awareness
Cyber threat analytics

Keynote
CTI in Cyber Defence: Challenges and opportunities
Dr. Panayotis Kikiras, European Defense Agency (EDA)
Abstract
: The scope of the presentation will be to explore the role of CTI in Cyber Defence. Concepts like Cyber Kill chain vs Observe-Orient-Decide-Act and the impact of CTI techniques to the optimisation of blue forces OODA cycle will be presented.
In addition, the impact of AI enabled CTI will be discussed along with the envisaged role of CTI as a key tool for future Information Superiority. Finally, The role of European Defence Agency in the EU research landscape will be explained and research and funding opportunities for dual and defence topics will be presented.
Panayotis is currently Head of Unit Technology and Innovation in European Defense Agency in Brussels. Through its work on innovative research the directorate supports EDA Member States in their efforts to cooperate, promote and manage cooperative Research and Technology projects. It identifies dual-use synergies and opportunities with the European Commission and the European Space Agency to enhance civil-military cooperation, interoperability and effective R&T spending. Panayotis before EDA, have been working for AGT International since 2011. He was Vice President of Research leading the enabling technologies research group which conducts research in the areas of Cyber Security, Big Data and Energy Analytics.
He holds a PhD and an MSc in Computer and Electrical Engineering from the Technical University of Athens and an MSc in Management and Economics of Communication Networks from the University of Athens. In the academic field Panayotis was an Adjunct Associate Professor at the University of Thessaly Greece, Department of Computer and Network engineering and Department of Informatics. Panayotis has authored more than 50 peer reviewed papers and a number of technical reports and he is a senior member of IEEE.
