Hello

This is a Final call for papers for the 14th European Conference on Cyber Warfare and Security ECCWS-2015, being hosted by The University of Hertfordshire, Hatfield, UK on the 2-3 July 2015.

This call will close on 11^th of December 2014.

The increase in Web services and online operations for various industries and critical businesses has led to an increase in different threats and malicious activities. The security community have witnessed a significant increase in security threats, violations and spread of different types of malware. Recently, there has been an international collaboration to confront a major cybercrime operation behind the spread of GameoverZeus botnet which affected many individuals and businesses worldwide. Therefore, critical industries must keep their operational environment secure and resilient against constantly evolving cyber threats. This is to maintain the safety of workers, industrial assets as well as the communities they serve. Recent advances in the fields of cyber security and technology development are a key factor in the growth of security services and operations. The ECCWS 2015 Conference aims to bring together researchers, practitioners and industrials that are interested in various cyber security aspects. This Conference is expected to attract people from the cyber security community to stimulate interesting discussions about the latest development and technologies.
