  • The objectives of this workshop are to:
  • Consider information security issues in a holistic and systemic approach; putting the individual at the core of the question;
  • Point out stakes, challenges and issues related to a global approach for information security and reliability in order to develop an inclusive information society;

  • Present and discuss emerging know how and standards that will contribute to minimize the informational risk and bring it under control.


This workshop wishes to further stimulate a multi stakeholders’ awareness which is needed for the development of a safe information society. It will bring together experts from several fields of discipline, with different backgrounds and experiences to debate unsolved security related questions concerning citizen, organizations and States.
