I find the more technical the speaker is the more they want to cram into their slides, with some having too many slides for the time allocated to their talk

Presenters - please look at the font size and style for your text in presentations. A white font with a size of 10pt on a black background may look cool on your laptop screen but is illegible on a screen in a large room. Large fonts and less text per slide is better

This is a good example of why defenders need to get the basics right in the age of AI. AI augmented attacks are going to find and exploit weaknesses much quicker than human attacks. If your defensive posture is not strong then you are facing a losing battle

This US administration has already spent between $55-200 million funding think tanks and lobbyists in Europe to promote its “values and goals”. We have little to no idea where most of this money is being spent. It’s a dark money campaign to undermine European democracy

Common theme through many of the talks at the CERT EU conference is that of digital sovereignty. A topic that a few years ago would have been more of a conceptual discussion rather than today being viewed as a real concern Time for us to put digital sovereignty on our risk plans #certeuconf26
