Introduction

In 2018, the International Conference on Cyber Conflict will be 10 years young! To celebrate this milestone, we are offering the cyber security community the opportunity to shape the focus of our anniversary conference. Instead of setting a predefined core topic for this conference, we invite our trusted research community to submit original research papers on their choice of the most topical and current cyber security issues, from technical, legal, policy, strategy or military perspectives. With your valuable contribution we will present the world’s premier cyber defence conference for the tenth time.

CyCon is organised by the NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence. Every year, over 500 decision-makers and experts from government, military and industry from all over the world approach the conference’s key theme from legal, technology and strategy perspectives, often in an interdisciplinary manner.
