“ISED is our annual event to bring together students, researchers and practitioners on a hot topic in cybersecurity.. Due to the increasing number of attacks carried out through social engineering, we have decided to select this topic as the theme of the conference this year.” from Nicolas Mayer.

Yves Le Traon, Full Professor in Computer Science and part of the organization mentioned: “The presentations this year were especially captivating, primarily due to a balance between theoretical frameworks and practical aspects relating to social engineering and online deception. These topics are crucial and shed light on the ever-growing need to understand and counteract the sophisticated techniques employed by malicious actors in manipulating individuals and organizations in the digital and physical realms”.

The talks were followed by some questions and answers and a networking lunch.
