November 25-27, 2026
21th International Conference on Risks and Security of Internet and Systems
Rabat, Morocco

https://sites.google.com/view/crisis26/home

The 21th International Conference on Risks and Security of Internet
and Systems (CRiSIS) in 2026 continues its tradition of addressing
critical security challenges in Internet-connected applications,
networks, and systems. The indispensability of the Internet for
information exchange among diverse user groups and organizations has
led to heightened risks around security and privacy. This
vulnerability is exacerbated by the sophistication of online attacks,
the proliferation of cybercrime, and the readily available tools for
attackers, who are increasingly motivated and skilled. The advent of
complex technologies, including pervasive computing, mobile, and
wireless devices and networks, introduces new security challenges,
necessitating the deployment of advanced security mechanisms and
techniques. These advancements are crucial for protecting critical
sectors such as energy, transportation, health, defense, banking,
critical infrastructures, embedded systems and networks, avionics
systems, and more, ensuring an acceptable level of security assurance.

The CRiSIS 2026 conference aims to bring together researchers,
practitioners, and industry experts to discuss emerging challenges and
innovative solutions in cybersecurity, risk management, and secure
Internet-based systems.
