Context

As the Internet, and the creation, storage and consumption of electronic information, increases by the day, it is important that we create an infrastructure which has high levels of security and trust. Without these the Internet will not truly scale to encapsulate every aspect of our lives, and leave threats to the future economy and to our own personal integration with it.

Aim and Scope of Symposium

This symposium aims to bring together knowledge from many different domains, such as from academia, industry, the public sector, and law enforcement professionals, to provide a vision to create next generation systems which protect the rights of individuals, and which also to reduce the risks of our citizens in the face of threats that they are now exposed to. It will also include the official launch of the Scottish Centre of Excellence in Security and Cybercrime, which is a collaborative network which links to the key professionals and academics around Scotland.
