CyberTIM 2018: 1st International Workshop on Cyber Threat Intelligence Management
(CyberTIM 2018) to be held in conjunction with the ARES EU Project Symposium, held at ARES 2018 (http://www.ares-conference.eu)

August 27 – August 30, 2018, Hamburg, Germany

Projects:
CyberTIM workshop is jointly organized by three H2020 projects that are funded by the European Commission:
PROTECTIVE (https://protective-h2020.eu/)
C3ISP (c3isp.eu/ )
SHIELD (https://www.shield-h2020.eu/)

Workshop Description:
The increased sophistication of cyber-attacks have 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 slowly move 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 this workshop 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
Threat Intelligence sharing
Collaborative Intrusion Detection
Cyber situational awareness
Cyber threat analytics
Cyber threat sharing community
Trust management in/for Cyber Threat Intelligence
Cyber threat visualization
Cyber threat monitoring
Botnet monitoring
Cyber threat correlation techniques
Cyber threat prioritization techniques
Cyber threat sharing platforms
Alert exchange formats
Alert exchange protocols
Cyber-crime forensics
Cyber-crime risk management
