BISITE has collaborated in organizing C1b3rWall Academy 2021 and we will do it again in the next course that will start in September. It is an excellent initiative whose main objective is to promote cybersecurity training and all those technologies that converge in this field. We have specialists in the field and, therefore, we have developed several projects such as DeepSIEM, a platform for cybersecurity management based on artificial intelligence.

Cybersecurity, AI and Blockchain

Yeray Mezquita, Blockchain expert at BISITE, participated in the congress with a presentation entitled “Blockchain technology as a means of securing and tracing information”. In it, he shared with the attendees the basic concepts underpinning this technology. In addition, he explained how this technology makes it possible to keep the stored information immutable, and how it is possible to identify the author of this information. He also discussed the possibilities offered by this technology beyond the field of cryptocurrencies and its validity as forensic evidence in many cases.

Sergio Márquez gave a presentation entitled “Industry 4.0 and IoT – A new challenge for efficient and secure data management”. In which the basic principles of IoT, the different platforms and applications that currently exist were discussed. In addition to an analysis of the different IoT devices, as well as security applied to the world of IoT.

This event has exceeded all expectations, so we hope you will join us again in the next C1b3rWall Academy course starting in September 2022.
