CYBERCON will be the inaugural conference for UCD Centre for Cybersecurity and Cybercrime Investigation. We anticipate that it will become an annual event and one of the largest European gatherings of Corporate, Law Enforcement and Government representatives working together to seek practical solutions to address the challenges posed by cybercriminals to national and international organisations and institutions 

The goal of CYBERCON 2011 is to provide a platform where experts from Law Enforcement, Academia and Industry can convene to discuss  current and future threats and explore possible solutions to the challenges posed by criminals to information systems and critical infrastructures.   This conference will focus on discussing real problems and working through to finding real solutions.  To achieve this goal, attendees will be expected to participate in a simulated cyber attack.  The output from this exercise will help inform coordinated law enforcement and industry strategies for managing cyber incidents.   The expert input of participants will be key to formulating responses that accurately reflect the needs of all stakeholders.
