At CRCI 2024, Cyber Ireland and South East Technological University (SETU) bring you an industry focused cybersecurity research workshop: Bridging Academia and Industry for Real-World Impact.
This dedicated workshop for industry will take place after the conference at 4.00pm – 6.00pm, to bring academia and industry together with the aim to:
- Promote industry cybersecurity research project case studies and best practices.
- Share information on funding options, academic R&D capabilities and how to engage with academia.
- Facilitate new collaborative industry-academia cybersecurity R&D projects.
The workshop will feature industry research presentations from:
- John Barry (Security Architect, Intel Ireland): Advancements in certifiable asymmetric cryptography and its role in securing hardware attestation protocols, a critical component for ensuring device integrity.
- Daniel Hayman (Intelligence Operations Analyst, Centripetal Networks): A deep-dive analysis of threat actor groups like BlackBasta, with a focus on intelligence-driven threat actor analysis and the latest tactics used by ransomware groups.
