Moreover, Vaios Bolgouras (active SECONDO secondee) presented the “Blockchain technology and the effects in global economy“; Blockchain is important pillar within the SECONDO ecosystem. Furthermore, Christos Seferiadis and Angelos-Marios Sideris (active SECONDO secondees) analysed the “Building the human firewall“; an approach that the SECONDO project via its modules promotes and finally, Michalis Takaronis (active SECONDO secondee) discussed the importance on the 0-day detection in a presentation entitled “CVE, Zero day detection and risk impact“; the identification is very important and has identified and highlighted by the SECONDO project.

The presentation were meaningful and the presenters had the chance to exchange research ideas to build their future research steps with the audience.
