=========== Scope

The International Conference on Risks and Security of Internet and Systems
2021 will be the 16th in a series dedicated to security issues in
Internet-related applications, networks, and systems. The Internet has become
essential for the exchange of information between user groups and
organizations from different backgrounds and with different needs and
objectives. These users are exposed to increasing risks regarding security
and privacy, due to the development of more and more sophisticated online
attacks, the growth of Cyber Crime, etc. Attackers nowadays do not lack
motivation and they are more and more experienced. To make matters worse,
tools for performing attacks have become easily accessible. Moreover, the
increasing complexity as well as the immaturity of new technologies such
as pervasive, mobile, and wireless devices and networks, raise new security
challenges.

In this context, new security mechanisms and techniques should be deployed
to achieve an assurance level acceptable for critical domains such as
industry, energy, transportation, health, defence, banking, critical
infrastructures, embedded systems, and networks, avionics systems, etc.
The CRiSIS conference offers a remarkable forum for computer and network
security actors from industry, academia and government to meet, exchange
ideas and present recent advances on Internet-related security threats
and vulnerabilities, and on the solutions that are needed to counter them.
