Innovation and associated future challenges are inseparable parameters of evolution of technology. The pace of present day technological evaluation poses insurmountable challenges. Cyber crime, a term relatively less heard in recent past, has become a volcano. This problem of gigantic proportions, which is tilting the balance, can be tackled by concerted research in the field of cyber security. These threats however, germinate new avenues and opportunities for scientists and scholars to develop impregnable software’s to defeat the evil designs of the hackers and intruders.

Cyber security ensures confidentiality, integrity and the availability of valuable data with greater protections of assets such as servers, desktops, buildings and more importantly the human beings. The cyber attack and digital spying have come to stay as the top most threat to national security. This threat is even more than terrorism. With growing volume and sophistication of cyber attacks, continuous vigil and efforts are required to protect sensitive business data as well as personal information. The challenges of hacking, tracking and attacking needs to be addressed with greater alacrity in the virtual world. The situation becomes grim in the light of enormous data being handled and generated in our tech savvy world, where dependence on interlinked data is huge. Our lives depends on online services to a very large extent hence the vital need to protect our digital life.

The “International conference on Innovation and Challenges in Cyber Security (ICICCS-2016)” is conceived due to the relentless challenges which cyber data poses. We invite academicians, scholars and corporate bi8g wigs to share a common platform and brainstorm to bring forth practical solutions to safeguard the common interest of mankind. The conference will have dedicated plenary sessions of tech symposia, tutorials and workshop. Eminent keynote speakers from across the globe will deliver talks on their perspective of the whole scenario. There will be panel discussion on the challenging topics of common interest.

The prime objective of the conference is to bring together the scholars, scientists and industrialists from all across the world to the wide spectrum of engineering and management fields to a common platform and achieve the following:
• To present the ongoing researches in different fields and hence to foster research relations between the Universities and the industry.
• Give participants a review of the latest and upcoming trends in the next few years.
• Exposing the audience to the need for more development and research for innovation.
• Provide the delegates to share their new ideas and the application experiences face to face.
