SONIC at the 6th CyberHOT Summer School
The SONIC project actively participated in the 6th Cybersecurity Hands-On-Training (CyberHOT) Summer School, hosted under the auspices of the University of Piraeus Research Centre (UPRC). Bringing together security practitioners, researchers, and technical staff from across Europe, CyberHOT serves as a premier venue for practical knowledge sharing in threat intelligence, risk management, and incident response.
Collaborative Impact & Hands-On Training
SONIC was well represented at the event by Project Coordinator Prof. Sotiris Ioannidis (Industrial Systems Institute – ISI), along with key project partners:
- Prof. Nineta Polemi, Dr. Kitty Kioskli and Dr Eleni Seralidou (trustilio)
- Pantelina Ioannou and Elias Athanasopoulos (University of Cyprus – UCY)
- Manos Athanatos and Spiros Antonatos (Cymph)
- Marinos Tsantekidis (AEGIS IT Research)
Throughout the two-day event, the SONIC team delivered specialised training sessions and hands-on exercises focused on strengthening cyber defence in critical domains. Beyond technical sessions, team members actively collaborated with representatives from other participating European cybersecurity projects, like EU-INSPIRE, NERO, CoEvolution and more, exchanging insights on threat management and operational resilience.
Collaborative Impact & Hands-On Training
The SONIC project is dedicated to enhancing the protection of complex digital infrastructures. By delivering advanced capabilities in continuous monitoring, threat intelligence, and post-incident investigation, SONIC equips modern Security Operations Centres (SOCs) with the proactive tools necessary for rapid detection and response.
We extend our gratitude to the CyberHOT organisers and all participants for two days of productive discussions and practical collaboration aimed at building a safer European digital ecosystem.
