Dear colleagues,
cyber-attacks grow in volume and complexity, artificial intelligence (AI) helps security operations analysts stay ahead of threats. AI technologies like machine learning (ML), deep learning (DL), and natural language processing (NLP) enable analysts to respond to threats with greater confidence and speed.
AI eliminates time-consuming research tasks and provides curated analysis of risks, reducing the amount of time security analysts take to make the critical decisions and launch an orchestrated response to remediate the threat
Therefore, the investigation on AI-based security is attracting more and more attentions from both industry and academia.

The central theme of this workshop is to investigate novel methodologies and theories for cybersecurity.
In particular, this workshop focuses to address the usage of data mining, machine learning, deep learning and novel intelligent techniques and algorithms for analyzing the data produced by any system and sensors network, and to emphasize the role of the AI in the security world.

The workshop will be held in blended form (part of the audience in
presence, part of the audience on-line). For further information, look at
the main conference home page https://iccsa.org/
