Somehow we feel what Juliane shows here at the #elbsides speaking about the need for closure. Bonus points for mentioning overreliance on tools and checklists ^^
Good talk about “The Illusion of Finishability” in our field.

And before you know it, it’s over :(
Thank you people for participating, supporting and building a community. Hope to see you next year :)
Let us introduce you to another great conference that deserves more recognition!
The Open Security Conference ( @OSCo@infosec.exchange ) is a people-centred international gathering in Rückersbach (Germany) for everyone interested in cybersecurity.
As an open space, Osco presents a different concept of security conference - literally from the community, for the community. You know, as cool conferences do ;-)
It offers a platform to ease the learning curve in cybersecurity and provides the opportunity to learn, discuss, and teach.
Please check out their website here:

Speaking about parenting, at one point in time you will have that special talk! About your first certification. These days that means NIS-2 for some.
Younes tells us about his research of the operational reality of NIS-2 adaptation.
#elbsides
You know, we are a community conference and try to bring you the #infosec magic for a small price.
Therefore it’s great to have Nithin with the talk about “Building a 0$ AI Pentesting Agent”.
Let’s see how we can do more with spending less.
We know, it's Monday. We want you to focus on the positive things such as banana bread, the spring (finally, yay) or your presentation at the next elbsides (even more yay)!
So, get your proposal rolling and head over to
https://www.elbsides.eu/2026/cfp/
and submit it! We know you can do it!
It is fantastic that Hamburg Port Authority (HPA) Anstalt öffentlichen Rechts is supporting us this year as Platinum Sponsor! 
We are super happy to have them on board as a local company for our next iteration on June, 5th.
Port is what they do - Security is what we do -- together Hamburg is stronger.
Time to announce community sponsors!
THANK YOU to Detlev Louis Motorrad-Vertriebsgesellschaft mbH - they support us since the beginning of our first Elbsides conference in 2019.
Last call for our CfP :blobcatsipsweats:
Yeah, we know, we also like to prep for exams at the last minute. But this minute is now!
So last chance, head over to
https://www.elbsides.eu/2026/cfp/
and show us your awesome proposal.
Hey Elbsides community - would you be interested in buying an
Elbsides 2026 T-Shirt 👕 with either a special motive or our current logo?
We would offer them together with the tickets in late March / beginning of April.
Leave us a comment or 👍 and we'll make it happen!

Stay tuned for more details to follow.
Great practical parenting from Lisa Fröhlich : show your kids your research at a conference and also tell the audience about those insights.
One can say, there is life lesson as well in a talk called “Your Traffic Is Lying to You” :)
And now a classic security topic, “Kernel-Level Surgery to Blind EDRs” presented by André. You know, good ol’ kernel exploitation nothing fancy ;)
We just had a nice overview from Michael on what to automate with AI in #infosec.
Especially if your organization tries to figure out how to make good use of this new environment, this talk provides valuable insights.
