SENTAI Launches First Public Engagement Event at FINKI Skopje
We are proud to announce the successful launch of the first public engagement event of the SENTAI Project at the Faculty of Computer Science and Engineering (FINKI) in Skopje. This event marks an important milestone in our journey to foster collaboration, awareness, and innovation at the intersection of cybersecurity and artificial intelligence.
The event opened with a welcome address and presentation by prof. Anastas Mishev, who introduced the SENTAI Project and its mission, supported by the NATO Science for Peace and Security Programme. His talk outlined the project’s vision to explore and strengthen the synergies between AI technologies and cybersecurity frameworks.
A highlight of the event was the keynote presentation by renowned cybersecurity expert Dr. Tanja Pavleska from the Jozef Stefan Institute in Ljubljana. Her lecture, titled “Ctrl+Halt+AI: Who Will Click Save When the Alarms Stop?”, captivated the audience with its insights into the pressing challenges and ethical questions surrounding the integration of AI in cybersecurity systems.
The session concluded with an engaging discussion, where students and faculty shared their thoughts, reflections, and critical questions—proving once again the importance of fostering dialogue in this fast-evolving field.
State-of-the-art workshop
The SENTAI Project successfully completed the online State-of-the-art workshop on the 28th of March 2025, reviewing the latest trends in AI applications in network security. A comprehensive review of the research body of knowledge on the topic was presented and future directions were set. With strong commitment of both partners, expect to see some really cool outcomes soon.
Kick-off meeting of project SENTAI!
We are proud to announce the start of the new NATO SPS funded project SENTAI (AI Sentinel: Enhancing Cybersecurity Through Artificial Intelligence).
Project partners Faculty of computer science and engineering, Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje, North Macedonia and Faculty of Electronics, University of Nish, Serbia will work together in the upcoming 3 years.
The official SENTAI project kicked off meeting was on February 28th, 2025. The initial meeting successfully brought together key stakeholders to align on project goals, timelines, and initial action items. Discussions centered around establishing clear communication channels and defining the initial work towards the project’s core deliverables. The team is now poised to move into the planning and execution phases.
This project aims to enhance cybersecurity solutions by developing a comprehensive artificial intelligence-based system. The project focuses on the use of real-time network data for training AI models, ensuring their relevance and effectiveness. The activities will be towards developing a solution that integrates data collection, transformation, security analysis using artificial intelligence, threat presentation, and visualization into a seamless pipeline. The evaluation of the solution will occur in a real-world environment, addressing the limitations of isolated and outdated methodologies found in current literature.
