SCOPE AND MOTIVATION
Cyber Security has been recognized as a global problem, transcending national boundaries. It is a rapidly growing challenge with new sophisticated zero-day attacks costing economies billion of dollars annually. Cyber attacks may particularly affect the developed world, but developing countries are also at higher risk due to the lack of expertise and shortage of security professionals with adequate skills and experience to effectively combat this rising threat. There is a persistent need for initiatives that can produce skilled resources and carry out Research and Development (R&D) activities in the specialized areas of cyber security. National Centre for Cyber Security (NCCS) is established at Air University Islamabad, Pakistan to instigate R&D as well as human resource development in the field of Cyber Security and its practical applications. The Centre constitutes a Secretariat and R&D Labs in reputed universities of Pakistan having national and international collaborators.
NCCS in technical co-sponsorship and joint collaboration with IEEE Islamabad Section (R-10) is organizing a three days conference event to invite researchers and practitioners working in cyber security and related domains to share their research ideas, experiences related to the state-of-the-art and the emerging areas of cyber security. ICCWS-2020 will include high-quality and focused technical program on cyber security with keynote talks from prominent industry and academia experts. The conference will also feature an attractive Lab to Market Event aimed at industry practitioners, vendors and local start-up companies. Papers can submit in following topics of interests.
