The International Conference on Information Systems Security (ICISS), held annually in India, is a forum for disseminating research results and meeting finer minds on computer security. ICISS 2022, the 18th edition of the conference, will be held at IIT Tirupati in the city of Tirupati from December 16 to 20, 2022. The conference will include high quality technical papers, a set of visionary/invited papers on important and timely topics from well-known leaders in the field, and a session on the work in progress. Alongside the broader objectives, the ICISS 2022 emphasizes enhancing the cooperation between India and Australia on information security research activity. The conference therefore invites the researchers and security enthusiasts to take advantage of the forum to share and discuss the subject concerns to the topic of computer security.
