We are attending the HICSS-42 conference and present our latest information security risk management research results (Details).

Our paper “Formalizing Information Security Knowledge” has been accepted at the ACM Symposium on Information, Computer and Communications Security 2009 (Project Details).

Our paper “Automated Risk and Utility Management” has been accepted at the IEEE International Conference on Information Technology: New Generations 2009 (Project Details).

The FIT-IT Pathfinder project review is scheduled for the 21st of January 2009.

The PIPE project has been extended to the next level. See the PIPE project description for further details.

At the LSZ CIO Congress 2008 (http://www.lsz-consulting.at/veranstaltungen/event/lsz_kongress2008/index.htm) , SBA Managing Director Markus Klemen will organize the area “Security / Risk” and will moderate the workshop “Change in IT-Security – A lookout”. Managing Partner Andreas Tomek will represent Security Research at the event.

SBA organizes the ARES Conference (http://www.ares-conference.eu/). This year’s conference will be held in Japan. In 2010 the conference will move back to Europe, where Vienna is the planned venue.

ARES aims at a full and detailed discussion of the research issues of dependability as an integrative concept that covers amongst others availability, safety, confidentiality, integrity, maintainability and security in the different fields of applications.

ARES will emphasize the interplay between foundations and practical issues of dependability in emerging areas such as e-government, m-government, location-based applications, ubiquitous computing, autonomous computing, chances of grid computing etc.

In October 2008, Edgar Weippl joined the STRAW project as an external expert.

STRAW stands for ‘Security Technology Active Watch‘. STRAW is a support action under the Security Research theme that aims at providing a European Service of Technology Watch on Security Technologies.

The consortium:

• Atos Origin SAE
• AeroSpace and Defence Industries Association
• Thales Services S.AS € Stiftelsen SINTEF
• Fraunhofer FHG
• Instituto Nacional de Técnica Aeroespacia
• Elsag Datamat S.p.A
• Asociación de Empresas de Electrónica, Tecnologías de la Información y Telecomunicaciones de España (AETIC)
• Fondazione Rosselli
• European Organisation for Security (EOS)

Scope:
The concept of STRAW is to bring together the defence and security research industry by a neutral coordination to ensure the awareness of underpinning technologies that make possible the implementation of civil security applica tions.

The target of STRAW is to stimulate the cooperation of providers and users f or civil security applications.
