Scope

Cyberattacks have come a long way since the first worm, CREEPER, was released on the ARPANET followed by the first defence, REAPER. In recent years, Ubiquitous cyberattacks have become more sophisticated with advanced persistent threats (APT), polymorphic viruses, ransomware, phishing schemes, zero-day attacks and other sinister worms. Enterprises are always playing catch-up. Meanwhile, governments across the world have woken up to critical re-thinking of what the cyber world is from a perspective of not only its usefulness but also the threats and limitations it brings. A host of security directives, regulations, and strategies have been created to enhance data and critical infrastructure protection mechanisms to not only become secure and resilient but also improve privacy and trust.

This symposium aims to provide a comprehensive exploration of Computational Intelligence (CI) models and applications in the realms of security and resilience. Delving into the past, present, and future, the symposium will address challenges, advancements, and emerging trends to foster collaboration among researchers, practitioners, and industry experts.

We are seeking contributions that address either theoretical developments or practical applications in this field. Further, the symposium aims to promote collaboration and the sharing of knowledge to develop the field of CI in Security, Defence and Biometrics.
