Comments:

Nelson’s presentation was quite relevant and interesting not only in terms of information but also in terms of the presentation itself. It was a simple presentation, he didn’t use a lot of over complicated “technical” terms, and it wasn’t too exhaustive or too detailed as sometimes happens in presentations where the audience quickly loses interest. It was really useful personally, as it made me realize that Security is the area where I should build my professional carrier. In the end of the presentation I talked with Nelson, and we’ve exchanged some ideas and impressions for 30 minutes, he was very attentive and very available to help with anything.

The presence of CyberSafe at TSI2Market was a great advantage to me, because it showed me that following a professional career in the security area can be a promising opportunity. As a student, and considering that this is an area of interest to me, it was really motivating listen to Nelson Silva’s testimony about how is working in the informatic security area. TSI2Market is a huge opportunity that students have to make contacts with professionals of the labor market, so, I believe that it was really important for us, as students, to learn more about an area where you can invest for your future.

In my opinion the CyberSafe presentation, made by Nelson Silva, was one of TSI2Market most important moments. First of all because in this stage of our lives as students, we are still a little confused about the area where we should focus our career and second because Nelson’s testimony clarified many doubts that appear in this phase regarding the work market. It was very good to have contact with a professional in the Security area as this is a very interesting area for me personally and that I believe will bring a good and promising future in the field of information technology.

CyberSafe participated in the 19th Security Meeting, an event organized by ShadowSec and hosted by the Portuguese National Security Cabinet – Gabinete Nacional de Segurança -, and dedicated to IT Security Operations and SIEM.

CyberSafe opened the event with a presentation about the 5th Generation Security Operations Centers (SOC). Besides presenting briefly the several SOC generations, CyberSafe speakers detailed the characteristics that make a SOC a 5th Generation SOC: the use of advanced security analytics, increased efficiency by automation, collaboration, people specialization and adaptability, and counter-attack capabilities. CyberSafe presented also insights on how to measure where your SOC is today and what to do to become a 5th Generation SOC.

Other company presenting on this event was CyberSafe’s vendor partner Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), that focused on User Behaviour Analytics “Is a user doing what is supposed to be allowed to?”.

Finally MEO’s SOC / CSIRT Manager presented “SIEM in the heart of a SOC”.
