 The Conference on Security and Privacy in Information Society is an international conference for the advancement of security in science, society and economy. This annual conference serves as a multidisciplinary forum for the discussion and exchange of information on the research, development and application of all topics related to security risks.

The open global markets and network society involve numerous and serious security risks: cyber crime, viruses, misuse of data, industrial espionage and international terrorism threaten the fundamental values of democratic societies. As a result economy, science, media and citizens are increasingly dependent on secure information systems and infrastructures.

The Third International Security Conference spans all disciplines and levels of security in economy, politics and administration, science and media - on an international level. Besides the conference focuses on IT law and risk management, data protection and freedom of information. It will discuss the potential danger as well as the political and legal context and work out systematic methods of risk defense.
