Hello LuCy nice to meet you! - A conclusion on a 3 year Open-Source cybersecurity project
Denim Latić, Cynthia Wagner

LuCy is the 3-year odyssey to bring a new security solution closer to the R&E community in Luxembourg. The open-source project is integrated into an existing IT infrastructure - but wait, why not open it to our Luxembourgish R&E community and that at a low cost! After some reflection it became clear that with a bit of effort the security tools can also be used by the community!

This presentation will be the conclusion on the LuCySe4RE project, presenting the overall highs and lows of the project from a technical, awareness as well as from the human perspective.

As a conclusion, focus will be put on new challenges that emerged after the move from prototype to a fully fully-fledged service, as well as explain new risks that we did not identify before.

In this presentation we will share our lessons-learned from our journey from a prototype to a tool in production and hopefully reach others to start their journey with implementing and promoting open-source projects in their community in future!
