The final plenary meeting of the CyberSecDome project took place this week in Chania, Crete, bringing together partners from across Europe as we prepare for the project’s final review.

Over two days, consortium members discussed pilot progress, platform integration, exploitation activities, Open Call projects, and the next steps towards demonstrating innovative approaches for cyber defence, cyber resilience, incident investigation, and incident response using immersive XR and VR technologies.

It was a pleasure to represent the Chair Cyber CNI, IMT Atlantique, and IRISA alongside Fabien Eyssartier and to exchange with colleagues from across the consortium.

A big thank you to the Technical University of Crete for hosting the event and to all partners for the excellent collaboration throughout the project.

Looking forward to the final project review and to showcasing the results achieved together by MAGGIOLI, Technical University of Crete, IMT Atlantique, IRISA, OTE Group of Companies, Athens International Airport, Airbus CyberSecurity, ITML, AEGIS IT Research, Technical University of Munich, CyberEthics Lab, and all consortium members.

Special thanks to Armend Duzha, Eleni Pateraki, Gregory Chrysos, Andreas Tsigkos, Spiros Fotis, Evangelos Raptis, Vasilis Kyriazopoulos, Gary Joel Pereira, Maxime Bègue, Sébastien Peynet, Mohammad A. Chaqfeh, Marc-Oliver Pahl, Fabien Eyssartier, and the many researchers, engineers, and innovators who contributed to CyberSecDome.

CyberSecDome XR Cybersecurity Demo at IRISA

May 28, 2026May 28, 2026 By Marc-Oliver Pahl Actualités / announcements / Évènement / Event / News

A great day yesterday presenting the European project CyberSecDome at the CNRS UMR IRISA laboratory in Rennes during the visit of the Jeunes IHEDN.

Many thanks to Olivier Barais for opening the session and highlighting the strong cybersecurity ecosystem within IRISA.

As part of the activities carried by the Chaire Cybersécurité des Infrastructures Critiques within the IRISA environment, we presented our work on next-generation cybersecurity interfaces combining AI and XR technologies to improve situational awareness and reduce the cognitive load of cyber experts facing increasingly complex infrastructures.

Marc-Oliver Pahl introduced the CyberSecDome vision, architecture, and operational context, while Fabien Eyssartier delivered an impressive live demonstration of the immersive platform.

The discussions with participants were extremely engaging, ranging from operational cybersecurity to resilience and disinformation challenges. Seeing participants directly experiment with the interfaces and discuss future applications was particularly rewarding.

CyberSecDome continues to demonstrate how Europe can combine AI, immersive technologies, and operational cybersecurity expertise to strengthen the resilience of critical infrastructures.

A real pleasure to support IRISA during this successful event — and we look forward to many future collaborations with the IHEDN community.

Wrapping Up an Inspiring Journey in the New Master Cybersecurity Program at IMT Atlantique

May 27, 2026May 27, 2026 By Marc-Oliver Pahl Actualités / Cyber CNI / News / Teaching

Today was the final session of my teaching engagement in the new Master Cybersecurity program at IMT Atlantique in Rennes — and what an inspiring experience it has been.

Over the past weeks, I had the pleasure of teaching a fantastic group of students in our course on *Securing Critical Infrastructures*. With 8 female and 2 male students, the class brought together strong technical backgrounds, curiosity, critical thinking, and excellent discussions throughout the course.

We explored topics such as:
🔹 OT vs IT security
🔹 Industrial Control Systems (ICS)
🔹 Attack chains and cyber resilience
🔹 Security-by-design
🔹 Monitoring and anomaly detection
🔹 Human-centered cybersecurity
🔹 QUANTUMINSERT, Snowden, and the ethics of cybersecurity

For today’s final recap session before Friday’s exam, we connected all course topics into one big picture: how modern connectivity creates both enormous opportunities and major attack surfaces for critical infrastructures.

I was also very happy to invite two colleagues working with me on current cybersecurity projects:

🔹 Axel Dupraz presented hands-on demonstrations around real-world critical infrastructure cybersecurity challenges and operational exercises.

🔹 Fabien Eyssartier, working with me on the Horizon Europe project CyberSecDome, demonstrated next-generation cybersecurity interfaces and immersive approaches for future SOC environments. This led to fascinating discussions on usability, operator support, situational awareness, and human-centered cybersecurity.

One thing became very clear once again:
Cybersecurity is not only about technology. It is also about humans, communication, decision-making, resilience, and responsibility.

A huge thank you to all students for the excellent atmosphere, the energy, and the many thoughtful discussions throughout the course. Teaching becomes truly rewarding when students actively contribute their own perspectives and experiences.

Now only the written exam on Friday remains.

Good luck to all of you — and thank you for this great experience!

Interview BFM 01 Business: comment utiliser la réalité virtuelle au service de la cybersécurité ?

April 10, 2022April 10, 2022 By Marc-Oliver Pahl Actualités / Évènement / Event / Interviews / Médias / News / Press / Research / TRUE-VIEW

Le 9 avril 2022, l’interview de Frédéric Simottel avec notre titulaire Marc-Oliver Pahl (IMT Atlantique) et le professeur Frédérick Benaben (IMT Mines Albi) autour de la RV pour la gestion des crises et de la cybersécurité a été diffusée. Marc-Oliver a présenté nos travaux et visions autour des futurs Security Operation Centers (SOC) virtualisés. Ces SOC permettront aux utilisateurs ayant des compétences différentes de travailler ensemble et de gérer l’arène complexe de la cybersécurité de leurs systèmes.

Being part of the wonderful cybersecurity ecosystem in Brittany, we visited the ENSIBS and their excellent cybersecurity crisis management exercise. We used the visit not only to get impressed but also to make contact with potential future PhDs and PostDocs at the chaire, and of course to discuss joint research and teaching. Thanks a lot for the invitation!
