In an era of relentless digital evolution, our interconnected society presents a complex cloud, edge computing, and IoT platforms that continuously interact. This workshop seeks to delve into the complexities of securing this interconnected landscape. We invite contributions that address a wide range of issues, with a particular focus on:

1. Advancing Cybersecurity Resilience: We invite research and practical insights into developing tools and strategies that enhance cybersecurity resilience, preparedness, awareness, and detection across critical infrastructures and supply chains. Emphasis should be placed on proactive and automated approaches to detect, analyze, and mitigate cybersecurity attacks within cloud environments, at the edge, in IoT deployments, and in different domains like smart cities, industry 4.0, health, energy, banking, telecommunication etc.

2. Ensuring Privacy and Trust in a Continuously Connected World: As our digital ecosystem evolves, it is imperative to integrate end-to-end security and user-centric privacy in complex, distributed platforms. We encourage submissions that explore securing the entire platform ecosystem, focusing on issues such as secure integration of untrusted IoT devices, the use of Zero-Trust architectures, secure interoperability and integration of systems, and AI-based automation tools for cyber threat intelligence. Additionally, we welcome the identification and analysis of potential regulatory aspects and barriers relevant to the development of secure cloud continuum technologies and solutions.

3. Safeguarding Data and Infrastructure: With the constant exchange of data across cloud, edge, and IoT platforms, securing the entire data lifecycle is paramount. Papers addressing the security chain covering communication, data collection, data transport, and data processing are highly encouraged. This encompasses strategies to mitigate vulnerabilities in cloud infrastructures and ensure trust and security within massive connected IoT ecosystems and their lifecycle management. We invite research that not only identifies challenges but also proposes innovative solutions to protect critical data and infrastructure.

4. Pratical experimentations and reports in industrial environments as well as collaborative research projects results are welcomed.

Submission Guidelines

All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The following paper categories are welcome:

• We will solicit both full papers (6 pages) and short papers (4 pages) in IEEE two-column format. We will also solicit demonstrations of security testing tools (4 pages) and project success stories.Each paper will be reviewed by at least 3 program committee members. Easychair platform will be used for the submission and review process.
