Recap
How it went
We were a Champion Sponsor
Our largest sponsorship of the year so far, at the conference dedicated specifically to cyber threat intelligence rather than security in general. The 2026 edition sold out.
Vincent and Koen were there for all three days
Workshops on the Tuesday, then two days of plenaries chaired by Munich University of Applied Sciences and the Bosch Group. Management-level sessions alongside deeply technical ones, which is unusual and the point: the strategy people and the analysts were in the same room.
Built to mix sectors that rarely meet
FIRST set out to create a trusted space for stakeholders who would not normally cross paths, with plenary talks on sensitive real-world problems and hands-on workshops in small groups. The plenaries were live-streamed; the workshops were not.
Who was there
Pick up where we left off.
If you met us at FIRSTCTI26, or meant to, write to whoever is closest to your work.
Vincent Thiele
Co-Founder & COO
Twenty-five years across finance, government and technology, most of it on your side of the table: Head of Operations for ING Bank’s CISO department, CISO at Cybersprint, then Deputy CISO at Darktrace. A former FS-ISAC board member and current CSIRT.global board member, so he has sat through the vendor conversation from the buying seat.
Koen Volwerk
Director of Sales
Based in the Netherlands, and usually the first point of contact for a commercial conversation: the demo link on this site books time directly with him. He works with security and intelligence teams on where Internet Intelligence fits alongside the tooling they already run, and what it takes to get it into production rather than into a pilot that never ends.
Where we are going next
Four conferences before the end of the year, including a talk in Strasbourg.
