Manos Athanatos, representing the ELASTIC project and TUC, attended the 35th Annual FIRST Conference in Fukuoka, Japan, in June 2024. This prestigious event is one of the leading gatherings for cybersecurity experts and incident response teams globally, organized by FIRST.org, which fosters collaboration and knowledge sharing among professionals working to improve global cybersecurity practices.

As part of the event, Mr. Athanatos took part in the FIRST.org Automation Special Interest Group (SIG), where discussions centered around the latest advancements in cybersecurity automation. The group monitored recent updates to automation standards and explored the development of new frameworks and reports, directly contributing to the future of cybersecurity practices. These discussions are highly relevant to the ELASTIC project’s goals of enhancing security and standardization in communication systems, and the outcomes of this SIG will be closely followed to align with ELASTIC’s ongoing research.

In addition to participating in the SIG, Mr. Athanatos actively engaged with fellow cybersecurity professionals and researchers during the conference, sharing insights into the ELASTIC project’s objectives and progress. These interactions were valuable for disseminating the work being done within the project and gathering feedback from peers, which will contribute to further refining ELASTIC’s approach to cybersecurity and standardization efforts.

The conference also provided a platform to discuss new trends in incident response and security management, and the knowledge gained through these discussions will help guide the future work of ELASTIC as it continues to explore innovative solutions in secure communications.
