CSR CYBERSHIELD
2025 IEEE CSR Workshop on Cybersecurity Innovation and Resilience (CYBERSHIELD)
Chania, Crete, Greece (in-person event) • August 4–6, 2025
The CSR CYBERSHIELD workshop will showcase cutting-edge innovations and methodologies developed through prominent EU-funded projects, which collectively address critical challenges in cybersecurity resilience and defense. It will create an ecosystem for exploring novel approaches to Security-as-a-Service, AI-driven threat and vulnerability detection, blockchain integration, adversarial robustness, cybersecurity awareness training, collective threat intelligence, and incident response. The scope encompasses applied research and practical solutions, incl. tailored cybersecurity tools, methods targeting AI for cybersecurity and cybersecurity for AI, policy-based deployment mechanisms, and advanced threat mitigation strategies. Participants will gain insights into how the research community synergize to deliver comprehensive cybersecurity frameworks, demonstrating the integration of research outcomes with real-world applications. This workshop delves into the resilience aspect of cybersecurity, which is one of the core tenets of the IEEE CSR event, emphasizing on applied solutions and real-world applications.
The CSR CYBERSHIELD workshop will accept high-quality research papers presenting strong theoretical contributions, applied research and innovation results obtained from funded cyber-security and resilience projects, and industrial papers that promote contributions on technology development and contemporary implementations.
