Title:  "Cybersecurity: between history and new challenges" 

Abstract:  "Cybersecurity has traditionally been driven by IT environments, with all that this implies in terms of technologies used and approaches adopted. 

In recent years, however, we have witnessed a convergence of the IT and OT domains, accompanied by an increase in the challenges faced by today's cyber experts (attack surface, interconnexions, used technologies, vulnerability management, etc.) 

In this talk, we propose to take a look at this new cyber world, and seek for the innovation role in this domain".
