In its fifth edition, CRITIS wants to bring together researchers and professionals from universities, private companies and Public Administrations interested or involved in all security-related heterogeneous aspects of Critical Information Infrastructures. We invite research papers, work-in-progress reports, R&D projects results, surveying works and industrial experiences describing significant security advances in the following (non-exclusive) areas of Critical Information Infrastructures:

  • Continuity of Services
  • Early Warning Systems
  • Incident Response
  • Information Assurance
  • Forensic Techniques
  • Network Survivability
  • Policy Management
  • Secure Information Sharing
  • Security Modelling and Simulation
  • Threats Analysis
  • Dependable Infrastructure. Communications
  • Embedded Technologies Security
  • Infrastructure Interdependencies
  • Internet-based remote control
  • National and Cross Border Activities
  • Trust Models in Critical Scenarios
  • Resilient Software
  • Security Logistics
  • Security Risks
  • Vulnerability Assessment

Key sectors of modern economies depend highly on ICT. The information flowing through the resulting technological super-infrastructure as well as the information being processed by the complex computing systems that underpin it becomes crucial because its disruption, disturbance or loss can lead to high economical, material and, sometimes, human loss. As a consequence, the security and dependability of this infrastructure becomes critical and its protection a major objective for governments, companies and the research community.
