WISCS'16: The 3rd ACM Workshop on Information Sharing and Collaborative Security

Abstract

The objective of the 3rd ACM Workshop on Information Sharing and Collaborative Security is to advance the scientific foundations for sharing security-related data. Improving information sharing remains an important theme in the computer security community. A number of new sharing communities have been formed. Also, so called "threat intelligence" originating from open, commercial or governmental sources has by now become an important, commonly used tool for detecting and mitigating attacks in organizations. Security vendors are offering novel technologies for sharing, managing and consuming such data. The OASIS Technical Committee for Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) is creating a standard for structured sharing of information. This is the largest TC within OASIS attesting to the broad interest in the topic. As progress in real-life deployment of information sharing makes clear, the creation, analysis, sharing, and effective use of security data continues to raise intriguing technical problems. Addressing these problems will be critical for the ultimate success of sharing efforts and will benefit greatly from the diverse knowledge and techniques the scientific community brings. The 3rd ACM Workshop on Information Sharing and Collaborative Security (WISCS'16) brings together experts and practitioners from academia, industry, and government to present innovative research, case studies, and legal and policy issues. WISCS'16 is held in Vienna, Austria on October 24, 2016 in conjunction with the 23rd ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security (ACM CCS 2016).
