5th Network and Information Security Summer School 2018

The 5th Network and Information Security (NIS’18) Summer School is jointly organised by the European Union Agency for Network and Information Security (ENISA) and the Foundation for Research and Technology – Hellas (FORTH). The theme for this year is “The Challenge of the Changing Risk Landscape”.

The Changing Risk Landscape refers to the dynamics, dependencies and complexity inherent to Information Technology. In this context, the changing security “ecosystem” is the one of the main challenges of Information Security. The relevant community needs to speed-up reaction, collaboration and information exchange in order to achieve timely and effective response to the challenges involved. This indeed seems to be the only option for Information Security in the continuous race of defense strategies to offer adequate protection against offense attempts.

ENISA is dedicated to promoting a culture of security in Europe that will improve the ability of EU Member States to respond to cyber-attacks. It does so, by pursuing a strategy of mitigating risks through awareness, studies, reports and position papers on current NIS matters. Towards this objective, ENISA and FORTH, a research institute devoted to advancing the State-of-the-Art in ICT, bring together in this Summer School a distinguished faculty from around the world with the purpose to identify current trends, threats and opportunities against the background of recent advances on NIS measures and policies.
