Mini-Talks Team

Join us for an engaging session of Mini-Talks during lunchtime every last Thursday of the month, where experts and enthusiasts share insights on diverse topics in short presentations. Each talk lasts 20 to 30 minutes, Q&A included, keeping it fast-paced, informative, and inspiring. Perfect for networking, learning, and sparking new ideas !

We are of course looking for contributors to provide presentations. We don't expect sophisticated slideshows or complex computer graphics, the aim is to emphasize knowledge, get people interested and asking questions. If you are interested in contributing, please submit your topic and an abstract of 1-2 sentences (20-50 words) to the point of contact.

1 Security Architecture at the Belgian Defense

We are evolving our defense strategy from Network Security to a Data-Centric model to better protect our most valuable assets in a perimeter-less world. Instead of just securing the 'pipes' and walls of our infrastructure, we are now attaching security directly to the data itself, ensuring it remains protected wherever it travels. This shift to a Zero Trust mindset allows us to maintain high visibility and granular control, regardless of whether our data sits in the cloud, on-premise, or on a remote device. We are changing the rules of the game, it will take time and a proper preparation to succeed. And it all starts by a good architecture exercise…

2 TIDE Hackathon 26 – Cyber Incident response through AI

In this session, I will share my experience participating in Hackathon ’26, where I competed in the theme Cyber Incident Response through AI. I’ll walk through the challenge we tackled, explain our approach to designing an AI driven response workflow, and discuss the lessons learned while building our proof of concept. I’ll close with a short demo of the prototype we presented during the event. Spoiler alert: we didn’t make it to the finals — our solution wasn’t quite at the MVP stage yet — but the insights gained were invaluable.
