Cyber Security by Design
January 14-15, 2016
The inaugural Singapore Cyber Security R&D Conference (SG-CRC 2016) will be held in Singapore on January 14-15, 2016 at the campus of the Singapore University of Technology and Design. The conference will bring together academics and practitioners from across the world to participate in a vibrant program consisting of research papers, industrial best practices, and tools exhibition. Students, undergraduate and graduate, are encouraged to participate in specially organised sessions. Several cash awards and certificates will be given to the best contributions in various categories.
This year’s theme focuses on the importance of bringing a technically grounded element of design that integrates cyber security into a system early in the process than as an afterthought. The element of design is integral to a process be it a purely software system, such as one engaged in managing online transactions, or a combination of hardware and software such as in Industrial Control Systems, pacemakers, and a multitude of IoT devices. This design element pervades the entire development process from the beginning till the end, and even during operation and maintenance. SG-CSC 2016 will focus on how design as an element can be made explicit early in the development process using novel techniques based on sound mathematical tools and engineering approaches.
