Sixth International Conference on Critical Information Infrastructures Security, Lucerne, Switzerland

The Sixth International Conference on Critical Information Infrastructures Security will take place from 8 to 9 September 2011 in Lucerne, Switzerland.

Key sectors of modern economies depend highly on information and communication technologies. The information flowing through the resulting technological infrastructure as well as the information being processed by the complex computing systems that underpin these are critical as their disruption, disturbance or loss can lead to high economical, material and, sometimes, human loss.

As a consequence, the security, reliability and resilience of these infrastructure becomes critical and their protection a major objective for governments, companies and the research community.

The event is aimed at exploring new challenges posed by critical information infrastructure protection, bringing together researchers and professionals from academia, industry and governmental agencies. An additional goal of the Workshop is to promote a multi-disciplinary approach within the scientific communities at national, European and international levels. Topics set to be covered include:
- resilient information infrastructures;
- internet resilience and stability;
- information infrastructures survivability;
- self-healing, self-protection, self- management architectures;
- cyber threats and vulnerabilities;
- cyber security issues of smart grids;
- cyber security issues of the cloud computing;
- advanced forensic methodologies;
- threats and attack modeling;
- trust models in critical scenarios;
- public - private partnership for resilience.For further information, please visit: http://www.critis11.org/(opens in new window)
