The CyberHunt workshop is a hybrid event, meaning remote participation is also encouraged.
SCOPE:
The Workshop on Cyber Threat Intelligence and Hunting (CyberHunt 2025) provides a dedicated forum for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers from academia, industry, and government to present and discuss advances in Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) and its applications across the broader cybersecurity landscape, with a particular emphasis on AI-driven approaches.
CyberHunt 2025 will be held in conjunction with the IEEE International Conference on Big Data (IEEE Big Data 2025) in Macau, China, December 8–11, 2025.
TOPICS:
We invite authors to submit original, previously unpublished research on Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) and its applications, with particular emphasis on the use of AI and ML to advance the broader cybersecurity landscape.
Focus areas include, but are not limited to:
-Adversary and defense tradecraft and TTPs
-Attribution (identifying, associating, or tracing malicious activity)
-Big data and datasets for CTI
-Collecting and processing data/information to produce CTI
-Generating (revelation) and utilizing IOCs, including detection engineering
-Intelligence (knowledge) representation, management, and dissemination (symbolic-AI/ontologies/templating approaches)
-Intelligence-driven incident response
-Intelligence-driven red teaming
-Intelligence-driven threat hunting
-Legal implications, accountability, privacy, and ethics for AI and CTI
-The use of Large Language Models – and agentic approaches in CTI
-Machine-readable-based CTI (including relevant standards)
-Open-source tools (associated with the scientific method) for CTI and threat hunting
-Political (cyber politics) and geopolitical aspects, and decision-making
-Threat-informed security automation
-Visualization techniques for CTI
Additional special topic of interest this year:
-AI-based threat detection in Mobile Networks
