“Keeping Complex Cybersecurity Development Aligned: SAFE4SOC Technical Meetings
As SAFE4SOC progressed from design to implementation, regular technical coordination meetings became a cornerstone of project execution. The technical meeting on 23 May 2024 exemplified how structured dialogue helps maintain alignment across multiple work packages.
