===========================================================================
The 1st International Workshop on Security for Critical Financial
Infrastructures and Services (FINSEC 2019)
https://sites.google.com/fbk.eu/finsec19
Co-located with The Twenty-fourth European Symposium on Research in
Computer Security (ESORICS 2019)
https://esorics2019.uni.lu
Luxembourg -- September 23-27, 2019
===========================================================================
SCOPE & TOPICS
-----------------------
FINSEC’19 is the first international workshop dedicated to the
cyber-physical security in the financial critical infrastructures.
Financial infrastructures run the core of the modern economies, and
manage every day a vast amount of virtual and physical money and assets.
Security incidents in the financial critical infrastructure lead
directly to significant economic damages for individuals and companies
as well, while decreasing trust in financial institutions and
questioning their social value. On the other hand, financial
infrastructures and services are more critical, sophisticated and
interconnected than ever before, which makes them increasingly
vulnerable to security attacks, as confirmed by the steady rise of
cyber-security incidents, such as phishing or ransomware attacks, but
also cyber-physical incidents, such as physical violation of devices or
facilities. In order to address these challenges, the FINSEC workshop
has the objective of bringing together researchers and practitioners
from the cyber-(physical) security and the financial domain, to rethink
cyber-security in the light of latest technology developments (e.g.,
FinTech, Cloud Computing, Blockchain, BigData, AI, Internet-of-Things
(IoT), Mobile-first services, Mobile payments). Specifically, value will
be given to contributions capable to foster new, intelligent,
collaborative and more dynamic approaches to detect, prevent and
mitigate security incidents, such as (i) intelligent monitoring and data
collection of security related information; (ii) predictive analytics
over the collected data based on AI-based (i.e. deep learning
mechanisms) that enable the identification of complex attack patterns;
(iii) triggering of preventive and mitigation measures in advance of the
occurrence of the attack; (iv) allowing all stakeholders to collaborate
in vulnerability assessment, risk analysis, threat identification,
threat mitigation, and compliance.
The workshop will provide a forum for dissemination, demonstration and
discussion of original scientific and experimental results of security
of financial infrastructures and services.

Paper Submission Guidelines
------------------------------------
Submissions are to be made to the submission web site
(https://sites.google.com/fbk.eu/finsec19) in pdf format. At least one
author of each accepted paper is required to register and present their
work at the workshop; otherwise the paper will not be included in the
proceedings.
Submitted papers must not substantially overlap with papers that have
been published or that have been simultaneously submitted to a journal
or a conference with proceedings. Submissions should be at most 16 pages
long (full paper), or 8 pages (short paper) including the bibliography
and appendices, and should follow the LNCS style
(http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0).
Pre-proceedings will be made available at the workshop. Accepted
conference papers are planned to be published by Springer in the LNCS
collection.
