== About ITASEC 2018 ==
The Second Italian Conference on Cyber Security (ITASEC18) is an annual event supported by the CINI Cybersecurity National Laboratory that aims at putting together Italian researchers and professionals from academia, industry, and government working in the field of cyber security. The conference will be structured into a main cyber security science and technology (S&T) main track, a “fil rouge” track including a sequence of multidisciplinary sessions from economic sciences, political sciences, laws etc on a specific hot topic in cyber security, and a demo track devoted to prototypes developed by companies, research centers and universities. This year, the fil rouge track main topic will be “Cyber and Information Conflicts: strategic, tactical, policy and law aspects". ITASEC18 also invites submissions for tutorial proposals on all topics of potential interest to the conference attendees. The conference will also include special sessions on domestic cybersecurity startups and on cybersecurity hacking community. The conference will also feature few selected distinguished keynote speeches and panels.

ITASEC18 will take place at the Milan Polytechnic University, from February 6 to February 9, 2018.
