In today’s interconnected world, industries, communication, key infrastructure, and essential services are primarily digitally dependent, especially against the backdrop of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and the subsequent large-scale shift towards remote operations. Meanwhile, new systems are frequently deployed without sufficient security, data protection, or resilience concern. In their quest for competitive advantage, developers and consumers frequently overlook safety and security considerations, leaving malevolent actors plenty of possibilities to attack.
DIGILIENCE is an annual conference, organized since 2019, which aims to establish the state of the art and future demands in the provision of security and resilience of ICT-intensive processes, services, and systems. Of particular interest are studies that examine systems in their interdependence or place their operation in a human or wider policy contexts, as well as evidence and data-based studies and presentations of the respective datasets.
