Detail 01/04
STAM 2026 focuses on frameworks, methodologies, tools, and practical experiences for security testing and monitoring in distributed systems that underpin domains such as telecommunications, cloud computing, industrial systems, smart communities, IoT, and e-health. The workshop addresses modeling of misbehaviors and attacks, the limitations of existing approaches, and the growing complexity introduced by openness, interoperability, and AI integration in modern distributed environments. In addition to scientific contributions, it also emphasizes practical training activities and demonstrations that help participants engage with real-world security scenarios and monitoring tools for secure distributed systems.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to 02/04
- Risk assessment frameworks for complex systems
- Trust and privacy assessment in distributed and critical environments
- Vulnerability, threats, and attacks modeling techniques
- Security testing techniques and tools
- Security monitoring techniques and tools
- Testing and monitoring automation for distributed environments
- Resilience techniques evaluation and attacks tolerance in critical systems
- Security testing and monitoring for 5G/6G networks, cloud/Edge systems, CPS/IoT, critical industrial systems, and e-health
- Cybersecurity challenges and solutions for small businesses (MSEs and SMEs)
- Integration of CI/CD practices for security requirements analysis, testing, and monitoring
- Machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) for cybersecurity solutions
- Industrial experience reports on security testing and monitoring applications
- Training activities to raise awareness about cybersecurity risks and mitigation strategies
- Practical demonstrations of tools and frameworks for secure distributed systems
