The 10th Norwegian Information Security Conference (no. Norsk Informasjonssikkerhetskonferanse – NISK), takes place at Grand Hotel – Oslo in the period 27.–29. November 2017. NISK 2017 is organised in conjunction with NIK 2017, NOKOBIT 2017, and UDIT 2017. NISK brings together people working in ICT security mainly from the national community, but also from the international community.

We invite researchers, practitioners, Master’s and PhD students to submit contributions to NISK 2017. Master’s students in particular – who normally do not publish at conferences – are encouraged to submit papers describing their Master’s thesis work. Independent reviewers will review all submissions. Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings by Bibsys Open Journal Systems. NISK publications give publication points at level 1.
