DeepSec 2025 Training: Becoming the Godfather of Threat Modeling – Mike van der Bijl

Sanna/ August 4, 2025/ Conference/ 0 comments

In the world of cybersecurity, there is always a threat lurking. Waiting in the shadows for the perfect moment to strike.

DeepSec 2025 Press Release: High threat level for IT security research. IT security is under attack from politics and hostility towards science.

Sanna/ May 27, 2025/ Conference/ 0 comments

Information technology is an integral part of computer science and therefore also of mathematics. Since 2007, the DeepSec conference in Vienna has brought together international researchers to discuss current threats, publish acute vulnerabilities and exchange knowledge on the defence of critical infrastructure. The increasing hostility towards science and the dismantling of US authorities that contribute to IT security are jeopardising the work and, therefore, also the results of the research groups. One consequence is a higher threat level for European companies. The DeepSec conference aims to counter this as a platform. Networks and data in the crosshairs Data may not be crude oil, but it is the driving force behind modern information technology. Digitalisation has made data via networks and services indispensable in many companies. Very few people today can go about their working

DeepSec and DeepINTEL 2025 – Call for Papers!

René Pfeiffer/ March 19, 2025/ Administrivia, Call for Papers, Conference, DeepIntel/ 0 comments

We have silent running since December. The reasons were behind-the-scenes updates, post-processing the past DeepSec conference, recharging our batteries, and adapting to the new situation in IT security influenced by geopolitics. Following the news since 20 January took a lot of head-shaking and wondering what the rest of 2025 will look like. This is where you come in. We want to see and hear you on stage at DeepSec and possibly DeepINTEL 2025. The Call for Papers is now open. The motto for DeepSec this year is “forbidden lore”. It is a reference to forbidden knowledge, the debate about full disclosure, and hard facts that are now declared illegal by authoritarian governments. DeepSec has always followed a scientific approach for discussing and questioning IT security. One of our past conferences even had the motto
