2nd International Workshop on Cybersecurity and Privacy Risk Assessments
Recent years have seen the rapid integration of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) across various domains, including autonomous transportation, industrial automation, critical infrastructure, and smart environments. These systems rely on real-time interactions, where embedded sensors, actuators, and AI-driven decision-making processes operate under strict latency and safety constraints. While CPS advancements promise increased efficiency and autonomy, they also introduce complex security and privacy risks due to their interconnected nature, dynamic threat landscapes, and direct impact on human safety.
The second edition of the CPRA workshop invites submissions presenting original and impactful research on all dimensions of cybersecurity and privacy risk assessment. This workshop serves as a collaborative platform to consolidate cutting-edge research, methodologies, and tools that cover the entire risk assessment lifecycle, including asset identification, threat modelling, risk scoring, risk treatment, mitigation strategies, and decision-making processes.
In addition to addressing technical aspects of cybersecurity and data privacy, CPRA places a strong emphasis on human factors in risk assessment. Contributions that examine the interplay between human perceptions, cognitive biases, and decision- making in risk evaluations are particularly encouraged. The workshop aims to reflect the multifaceted nature of risk assessment, incorporating both objective and subjective inputs and exploring their influence on outcomes in diverse operational contexts.
We welcome submissions from a broad spectrum of research areas and methodologies, including empirical studies, design research, systematisation of knowledge, systematic reviews, and visionary or position papers. Contributions may focus on theoretical frameworks, applied case studies, innovative tools, or multidisciplinary approaches that align with the topics of interest of the workshop.
The submission guidelines valid for the workshop are the same as for the ARES conference.
