ECCWS2025

I’m currently visiting the German National Research Centre for Artificial Intelligence Research (DFKI) in beautiful Kaiserslautern, Germany. I am here to participate in the 24th European Conference on Cyber Warfare and Security. The conference is in full swing, and I am presenting “Supporting Cyber Intelligence Analysts With Enterprise Security Modeling”, which was developed together with Sung Kim and Chris Benson.

Although it is still early in the conference, I have noticed that sovereignty is a recurring theme. A tremendous amount of effort is being channeled into mimizing reliase of the European nation-states on non-EU entities. And it seems to be yielding results! Most of the research that is presented here is relevant, captivating, and advanced.

So much, in fact, that it may actually be that the EU is ahead of the USA when it comes to securing its digital footprint. Whether it is discussions about resilient computing, measuring the effectiveness of the use of CTI, or a view at what’s next after CVSS, the work presented here is spot-on.

Oh; and that’s just before lunch!
