Due to the uncertainty of the current pandemic situation all around the world, the organizing committee of the CSNet 2021 has decided to run the conference as a hybrid event, allowing in-person and remote participation.

Welcome from the Chairs of  CSNet 2021

It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 5^th International Conference on Cyber Security in Networking (CSNet 2021), which will take place from 12^th October to 14^th October 2021 in Abu Dhabi, UAE  as a Hybrid Conference allowing in-person and remote participation.

Since its creation in 2017, CSNet has been a premier annual conference that covers advances in the area of Cybersecurity.

Our objective is to seek participation from academic researchers and doctoral students, but also from industry and any other government and independent institutions to discuss the lasted advances in the cybersecurity area. The novelty this year is that we open several tracks in the cybersecurity area. Each track will be managed by a specialized researcher to cover advanced topics in the area of the track. CSNET 2021 will offer to its attendees a variety of attractive sessions, including technical presentations, keynotes, and demonstrations.

CSNet 2021 will accommodate an attractive technical program that features:
