Information Security in Australia

Australia is actively investing in its national cyber security research capabilities and has created several government-funded research institutes to foster greater collaboration between the public and private sectors of the country's industry. These research institutes are working on identifying, understanding, and combating different types of cyber threats such as malware, ransomware, phishing, and identity theft.

Cybersecurity is an increasingly important defense measure that every organization needs to consider to protect their systems and data. In Australia, businesses, government agencies, and individuals are all turning to various forms of cybersecurity solutions to suit their needs and stay ahead of emerging threats.

Cybersecurity Events in Australia

To stay informed about what’s occurring in Australia’s cybersecurity landscape, organizations often attend Cybersecurity Conferences and Events such as Mesh Plus, AusCERT, and CyberCon, held throughout the year. These events provide a platform for members of the cybersecurity industry to come together and share best practices, discuss government policies and regulations, and provide networking opportunities.

In addition to events and conferences, government organizations are taking a proactive stance in promoting cybersecurity initiatives in Australia. The Australian Signals Directorate is the government agency responsible for leading the country's cybersecurity initiatives. They offer numerous resources and programs that guide both the public and private sectors about cybersecurity best practices and the latest threats targeting the region.

The Department of Cyber Security (DCS) also plays a key role in managing the cybersecurity landscape in Australia. It develops risk management strategies and plans that guide the various government and commercial organizations in protecting against threats.

20th December 2025 | 11th International Conference on Software Security (ICSS 2025)

11th International Conference on Software Security (ICSS 2025)

December 20 ~ 21, 2025, Sydney, Australia

Scope & Topics

11th International Conference on Software Security (ICSS 2025) is traditionally, security in software has been thought to be something that can be easily added on as a patch, post-development, and sometimes even after the deployment of the software. According to the US-Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT), “most successful attacks result from targeting and exploiting known, non-patched software vulnerabilities and insecure software configurations, many of which are introduced during design and code.” Hence, it is imperative that secure design, coding and testing principles as well as deployment and maintenance are thoroughly embedded in the software development lifecycle. At the same time, software security is very inter-disciplinary, as software is being developed for a variety of applications – web, Internet, database, single and distributed computer systems, etc.

Authors are solicited to contribute to the Conference by submitting articles that illustrate research results, projects, surveying works and industrial experiences that describe significant advances in the following areas, but are not limited to.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Software Security Attacks and Solutions • Static and Dynamic Code Analysis for Software Security • Validation, Verification and Testing for Software Security • Virtualization and Cloud Computing for Software Security • Cryptography for Software Security • Firewalls and Intrusion Detection/Prevention Systems for Software Security • Software Penetration and Protection • Measurements and Metrics for Software Security • Secure Software Development Lifecycle • Principles and Models for Secure Software Design • Secure Coding Standards and Their Implementation • Software Security for Wireless and Mobile Applications • Software Security for Database Systems • Software Security for Web and Internet Applications • Security of Open Source Software • Software Threats and Vulnerabilities • Risk Analysis for Software Security

Paper Submission

Authors are invited to submit papers through the conference Submission System by November 15, 2025.Submissions must be original and should not have been published previously or be under consideration for publication while being evaluated for this conference. The proceedings of the conference will be published by Computer Science Conference Proceedings in Computer Science & Information Technology (CS & IT) series (Confirmed).
