Back in October, SCSA-UA launched a competition to receive mini-grants to attend the annual grand event in the European cyber security industry – the DeepSec International Conference 2022!
One mini-grant involved receiving a certificate for attending DeepSec events with a total cost of about 1,000 Euros.
In the end, a large number of cyber security specialists from Ukraine had the opportunity to even attend this event in person, which was held from November 15 to 18, 2022 in Vienna, Austria. Those who stayed at home were able to join the lectures online.
In general, DeepSec 2022 brought together experts in the field of cyber security from many countries in Europe, Canada, Taiwan, the USA, etc. It is also quite obvious that Ukraine is now in the epicenter of the first large-scale cyber war, and therefore the presence of representatives of academic, scientific and professional communities from Ukraine is mandatory. That is why the organizers of the conference invited two representatives of the scientific community of our country as key speakers of two different events within the framework of this international cyber security week – DeepIntel and DeepSec. At the first event, the Executive Director of the Association, Roman Odarchenko, spoke with a report “The main means and intermediate results of the Russian-Ukrainian cyber war: cyber volunteer initiatives”, at the second event, Ukraine was represented by the President of the Association, Sergiy Gnatyuk, who presented a report on the topic “Ukrainian-Russian war in cyberspace: technological and psychological aspects”. These were very relevant reports that aroused great interest and, accordingly, a large number of questions, the answers to which turned into lively discussions.
In addition to plenary presentations, members of the Association attended a large number of presentations, participated in specialized workshops, and held many talks with representatives of the cyber security industry from around the world. Therefore, we believe that this event and our participation in it will provide another and powerful impetus to the development of the cyber security industry of Ukraine, and, accordingly, will provide new advantages in the hot phase of cyber war!
