Presentation slides

To play them:

1. Open link in browser;
2. Slides should automatically advance every 20 seconds (possible to adjust that value via the delayms parameter of the URL) -- if they do not advance: reload page via F5 key;
3. Switch to fullscreen mode:
• In Chrome: F5 (=reload to start), followed by F11 (=fullscreen);
• In Firefox: do not use F11 key (would stop auto advance), but rather 'hamburger' menu and there, in the Zoom entry line on the very right, click the fullscreen icon.

This event is in the context of our cybersecurity activities and the ECCC/EU co-funded projects ICEDEF – Defend Iceland and Eyvör – the National Cybersecurity Coordination Centre of Iceland (NCC-IS).
