The Call for Papers is now closed. Thanks to all the authors who submitted to our event!

Elbsides is a venue for security professionals, software engineers, students, researchers and visionaries. We’re targeting the North German security communities, but everyone from all corners of the world is welcome. The conference gathers the security community in an event to share and discuss novel ideas, initiatives and advancements. Even though the conference is in Germany, the conference language is English and all presentations and slides are expected to be in English.

Topics

We are soliciting talks on computer security topics, but are not limited to the following:

  • Network & Security Communications
  • Maritime and Logistics Computer Security
  • Access & Identity Management
  • Security Operations
  • Software Development Security
  • Security Engineering
  • Risk, Compliance & Security Management
  • Asset Security
  • Culture, Career, Networking, or Future in the Security Industry

Submission guidelines

Once it opens, submission will need to include an abstract long enough for the programme committee to understand what your talk is about and convince us that it will be an interesting talk. Since we will be reviewing papers without knowing your name, gender or affiliation, you can’t rely on your reputation to get in. Please refrain from mentioning any of these details in the abstract.

We will be actively soliciting presentations, but these will still go through the same review process and get selected accordingly.
