Information Security for South Africa - ISSA 2013

ISSA is co-sponsored by IFIP and the IEEE Systems, Man and Cybernetics Society (SMCS) Chapter, a chapter of the IEEE South Africa Section

ISSA2013 is the annual conference for the information security community that continues on the successful recipe established in 2001. Since 2010, ISSA is co-sponsored by the IEEE Systems, Man and Cybernetics Society (SMCS) Chapter, a chapter of the IEEE South Africa Section. The upcoming conference is held under the auspices of the University of Johannesburg Academy for Computer Science and Software Engineering, the University of South Africa School of Computing and the University of Pretoria School of Information Technology.

The ISSA2013 Conference will run from Wednesday, 15 to Friday, 17 August at the Protea Hotel Balalaika in Sandton, Gauteng, South Africa, venue still to be confirmed.

The conference has grown each year in various ways. Not only have delegate and presenter numbers been on the rise, but interest from industry has also grown and been displayed through sponsorship of the conference or aspects thereof. We believe that the co-sponsorship of the IEEE from 2010 and onwards will increase our international visibility, since all accepted papers will be published online in IEEE Explore. We also believe that the quality and relevance of the information presented by industry practitioners and academics has also evolved over the years, as have the opportunities for senior research students to present their research to a critical and representative audience.
