About Us

The Cybersecurity STC is the voice of the cybersecurity field, allowing the Computer Society to speak authoritatively and become a one-stop source of reliable information on the subject.

To do so, we must:

  • become the premiere online community to connect cybersecurity experts from industry and academia working in different fields throughout the Computer Society Field of Interests and related IEEE Societies
  • create a horizontal access mechanism to the information on the subject, which is currently spread across different sources
  • create dedicated cybersecurity events, focusing on the growing need of practical, actionable information on cybersecurity by governments and industry
  • support the creation of cybersecurity tracks in existing conference within and without the Society and the Institute

The mission of this STC is to address the growing need of practical, actionable information on cybersecurity expressed by governments, academia, and industry, as well as the general public.

The Computer Society already creates, disseminates and collects information which is highly relevant on this subject. This community aims to connect our members that are, or wish to become, cybersecurity experts, from industry and academia. It will help crossing the borders between different technical communities of the Society to create horizontal access mechanisms to all of the information on the subject, which is currently spread across different sources.
