Call for Papers

The International Conference on Information Security and Cybersecurity (ICISC 2027) will be held in Istanbul, Türkiye on May 06-07, 2027.

ICISTC brings together information security and cybersecurity researchers, cryptographers, industry representatives and graduate students interested in any aspect of information security and cybersecurity. One of ICISC’s primary goals is connecting security and privacy researchers as well as professionals from different communities and providing a forum that allows informal exchanges necessary for the emergence of new scientific and industrial collaborations.

The International Conference on Information Security and Cybersecurity (ICISC 2017) invites researchers, academics, professionals, industry experts, and graduate students to submit original research papers addressing current developments, challenges, and emerging approaches at the intersection of cybersecurity and Information Security.

As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly integrated into critical infrastructure, communication systems, autonomous technologies, and everyday digital services, it creates significant opportunities while also introducing new security, privacy, ethical, and governance challenges. The conference aims to provide an international platform for presenting innovative research, exchanging interdisciplinary knowledge, discussing real-world applications, and fostering collaboration between academia, industry, and public institutions.
