CLASSIC SECURITY EUROPEAN SUMMIT
Attendees from 19 countries shared, learned, and dined below the Parthenon at the highly successful 2024 Health-ISAC European Summit.
One attendee described the week as “a unique opportunity to collaborate with industry peers, share insights, and explore cutting-edge strategies. I also had the pleasure of meeting colleagues from abroad in person! Face-to-face interactions…truly help foster collaboration across borders.”
Cheers to Board Member Dr. Hans-Martin von Stockhausen for his incredible leadership and continual support of Health-ISAC at Summits, Workshops, and more.

A venue for Microsoft Sentinel-enabled Members to share experiences and information as well as enhance the effectiveness of the solution in protecting their organizations from cyber threats. Goals include information sharing (tips, tricks, configuration considerations), building libraries of common scripts or queries, creating materials for members who are new or shortly adopting Sentinel to avoid pitfalls, and liaising with Microsoft to share points of friction and feature enhancements.
Members can join via the Member Portal. Learn more about working groups here.
