Workshop Background and Goals

Information Systems Security is one of the most pressing challenges facing all kind of organizations today. Although many companies have discovered how critical information is to the success of their business or operations, very few have managed to be effective in keeping their information safe, in avoiding unauthorized access, preventing intrusions, stopping secret information disclosure, etc.

Nowadays, rapid technological advances are stimulating a greater use of information systems in organizations world-wide, which handle large quantities of data, managed by huge databases and datawarehouses. In addition, information systems quite frequently manage information that can be considered sensitive, since it is related to certain intimate or personal aspects of persons (beliefs, medical data, sexual tendencies, etc.) and which must be specially protected. Many organizations, including not only companies but also governments of several countries, are now realizing how security problems can affect both business success and citizen rights, and they are proposing security policies, security planning, personal data protection laws, etc. All of these, including technological, legislative, ethical and political factors, justifies the importance of secure information systems, and encourage us to research in new techniques, models and methodologies, which could aid designers developing and implanting safe information systems which both protect information and keep within the law. This workshop will serve as a forum to gather academics, researchers, practitioners and students in the field of security in information systems. The workshop will present new developments, lessons learned from real world cases, and would provide the exchange of ideas and discussion on specific areas.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to

- Methodologies for the development of security information system
- Access control techniques
- Personal data protection
- Information systems risk management and analysis
- Security in databases, datawarehouses and web information systems

Keynote speakers

Pierangela Samarati is a Professor at the Department of Information Technology of the University of Milan. Her main research interests are access control policies, models and systems, data security and privacy, information system security, and information protection in general. She has participated in several projects involving different aspects of information protection. On these topics she has published more than 80 refereed technical papers in international journals and conferences. She is co-author of the book "Database Security," Addison-Wesley, 1995. She is a member of the Steering Committees of ACM SIGSAC -- Special Interest Group on Security, Audit, and Control; the European Symposium on Research in Computer Security (ESORICS); ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security (ACM-CCS); the European Symposium on Research in Computer Security (ESORICS); the International Conference on Information and Communications Security (ICICS). She is a member of the Editorial Board of "The Journal of Computer Security" and of the International Review Board of the journal "Computers and Security," Elsevier. She is a member of the IEEE and IEEE Computer Society.
