4th International Workshop on Cyber-Security in Software-defined and Virtualized Infrastructures – SecSoft
1 July 2022 – 2 July 2022 CEST
The SecSoft workshop is co-hosted at the 8th IEEE International Conference on Network Softwarization (NetSoft2022) that will be held in Milan, Italy from 27 June to 1 July 2022. IEEE NetSoft has been created as a flagship conference aiming to address the softwarization of networks and systemic trends concerning the convergence of Cloud Computing, Software-Defined Networking (SDN), and Network Function Virtualization (NFV).
The SecSoft workshop contributes to the NetSoft conference topic of “Security, Safety, Trust and Privacy support in virtualized environments”.
Beyond security mechanisms at the hypervisor or domain level, the softwarization of legacy security appliances, and federation schemes between multiple domains, this workshop will look ahead to more dynamic, agile, and autonomic forms of detection and reaction of advanced threats, including the persistence ones. The specific focus will be on secure and trustworthy digital services, including pure virtual services as well as cyber-physical systems. The objective is to stimulate a constructive discussion on overall frameworks and specific aspects that are necessary to build wide situational awareness and to timely counter cyber-attacks: pervasive monitoring and deep inspection, cross-correlation in time and space dimensions and detection, automated control and management of complex orchestratable systems, forensics and legal investigation, trustworthiness and privacy.
The SecSoft workshop is a joint initiative by EU cybersecurity projects GUARD, SIMARGL, RAINBOW, PALANTIR, INSPIRE-5Gplus and SIFIS-Home.
