International Forum on Cyber Security, Privacy, and Trust
(NEMESIS)In today’s digital age, information security serves as a backbone for protecting both user data and electronic transactions. Safeguarding communications and data infrastructures in an increasingly interconnected world has become more critical than ever. Security evolved into a vital scientific discipline, encompassing multifaceted complexities that require the collaboration of experts from computer science, engineering, information systems, and intelligence systems communities. Information security continues to advance through well-established technical research directions, including access control (user authentication and authorization), protocol security, software security, and data cryptography. Furthermore, emerging topics in organizational and intelligence-driven security have gained prominence alongside these traditional research areas.
The International Forum on Cyber Security, Privacy, and Trust (NEMESIS'25) emphasizes the diverse developments and deployments in cyber information security. It aims to highlight current challenges and present the latest research contributions. The forum serves as a platform to explore technical aspects of cyber security, innovative user privacy techniques, and trust mechanisms. Additionally, it broadens its scope to address emerging topics, such as social, organizational, and intelligence system-driven security research directions. NEMESIS’25 provides an inclusive forum for presenting theoretical and applied research papers, case studies, implementation experiences, and work-in-progress results in cyber security.
NEMESIS’25 is designed to attract researchers and practitioners from academia and industry, providing an international platform for exchanging ideas and experiences regarding the evolving dimensions of information security in various application domains. This initiative fosters the identification of new research directions and the tackling of modern research challenges. The objectives of NEMESIS’25 are summarized as follows:
1. Review and Advance Research Findings: To consolidate and evaluate research findings in cyber security and related domains, focusing on the protection of diverse assets and processes while identifying approaches that can be applied across various information security and intelligence systems domains.
2. Encourage Synergy: To foster synergy among different approaches, enabling the development of integrated security solutions, such as combining various risk-based management systems and intelligence-driven methodologies.
3. Facilitate Knowledge Exchange: To promote the exchange of security-related knowledge and experiences among experts, aiming to enhance existing methods and tools and adapt them to emerging application areas, including those powered by intelligence systems.
Through these objectives, NEMESIS’25 aims to shape the future of cyber security research and practice, addressing the ever-evolving landscape of threats and challenges in an increasingly intelligent and digital world.
