Call for Papers: International Conference on Cybersecurity and Digital Education (CyberConfEdu)

Article Submission

International Conference on Cybersecurity and Digital Education (CyberConfEdu)

Presentation and Scope

Cybersecurity and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are two rapidly evolving fields with an increasingly critical intersection. While AI offers powerful tools to enhance defenses and threat detection, it also creates new attack vectors and vulnerabilities that need to be carefully considered.

O III Workshop on AI and LLMs in Digital Research and Education It is establishing itself as a benchmark space for discussion, scientific exchange, and technological innovation at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence, large-scale language models (LLMs), and their applications in the context of cybersecurity.

In its third edition, the workshop reaffirms its commitment to promoting interdisciplinary knowledge, bringing together researchers, market professionals, teachers, and students interested in the use of emerging technologies in both [fields/contexts/etc.]. digital forensic investigation how much in digital education.

The event's main focus is to explore how advances in AI — especially LLMs — are transforming:

  • the processes of analyzing and investigating cyber incidents,
  • The automation of complex tasks in information security.
  • and teaching and learning methodologies in the digital field.

Furthermore, the workshop proposes a critical reflection on contemporary challenges, including:

  • the malicious use of AI in cyberattacks,
  • the security and reliability of the language models themselves,
  • and the ethical, legal, and regulatory aspects involved in adopting these technologies.

The 3rd Workshop will include:

  • submission and presentation of scientific articles,
  • lectures with experts from the academic and market fields,
  • thematic panels and interdisciplinary debates,
  • and sharing case studies and practical applications.

By establishing itself as a qualified forum for discussion, the event seeks to foster scientific production, stimulate innovation, and contribute to the training of professionals prepared for the current and future challenges of cybersecurity in an increasingly AI-driven environment.
