International Workshop on Security Measurements of Cyber Networks

(SMCN-2017)

Helsinki, Finland, 21-23 August, 2017

Cyber Networks facilitate and boost the development of ICT technologies and network economy. It is becoming the foundation of our daily life. However, as today’s networks become huge, heterogeneous and pluralistic, the judgment on the security over the cyber networks becomes difficult. Various attacks and intrusions impact network security. It is a big challenge to measure network security based on different security requirements and standards in the context of different network scenarios. A generally accepted security measurement framework is always missing and urgently expected in order to find network security holes in time and fix the security problems accordingly.

This workshop focuses on the security measurements of cyber networks. It aims to bring together experts on security data collection, security data analysis, malware/virus detection, network intrusion detection, network system protection and network security assessment and measurement to discuss and explore theories, methodologies, schemes, algorithms and tools that are related to network security measurements.
