The pervasive incorporation of technology into daily life encourages cyber-crimes and cyber-security evolution and diversification. This progression results in the need to develop innovative managerial, technological and strategic solutions. Increasing mobile device sales; increasing digital evidence requests in legal environments; increasing generation and storage of digital transactions through the integration of the ‘Internet of Things’; and the development of cyber-physical attacks, all highlight the broad societal impacts of technology that encourage data-intensive environments.

A variety of responses are needed to address the resulting concerns. There is a need to research a) technology investigation efficiency, b) technical integration and solution impact, c) the abuse of technology through cyber-physical attacks along with d) the cost-effective analysis and evaluation of large data repositories. Hence, identifying and validating technical solutions to access data from new technologies, investigating the impact that these solutions have on the industry, and understanding how technologies can be abused from a cyber-physical perspective is crucial to the viability of government, commercial, and legal communities.

This mini-track will solicit submissions in the following areas:

Research agendas that investigate vulnerabilities and solutions to devices that belong to the ‘Cyber-of-Things’ (e.g., Cyber-Physical Systems, and the Internet of Things)

Research agendas that identify cyber-crimes, security vulnerabilities, solutions and approaches to solving investigation problems

Research agendas that scrutinize cyber forensics investigations in the area of ‘Cyber-of-Things’ (e.g., Internet of Things forensics, Mobile Forensics, and Cloud Forensics)

Research agendas that investigate cost-effective retrieval, analysis, and evaluation of large data repositories

Papers that combine research and applied practice

This minitrack provides a forum for integrating relevant, vital academic security research activity with the broader international community.
