The 4th International Workshop on Cyber Forensics and Advanced Threat Investigations in Emerging Technologies<\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

April 24-25, 2025
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Call for Papers
The rapid proliferation of information and communication technologies (ICT) has dramatically expanded global connectivity, increasing the volume of data traversing diverse networks with different policies and purposes. Edge and gateway devices\u2014often with limited capabilities\u2014must store, analyze, and protect this data against increasingly sophisticated attacks. As connectivity grows among heterogeneous systems, so do the potential attack vectors that malicious actors can exploit.
In response to these threats, there is a pressing need for innovative methodologies, frameworks, and tools\u2014particularly open-source digital forensics solutions\u2014that can collect, preserve, and analyze evidence across a variety of platforms and services. This includes network monitoring tools, routers, firewalls, web proxies, netflows, system logs, and beyond. Such measures will aid in reconstructing timelines for cyber incidents and, potentially, identifying the responsible threat actors.
Furthermore, the convergence of cyber-physical systems (CPS) with emerging technologies (IoT, cloud\/edge\/fog computing, software-defined networks, and more) has led to new security and forensics challenges. New and robust strategies are required to provide timely detection, prevention, and investigation of cyberattacks in these environments. This workshop will bring together researchers and practitioners to share the latest advances in cyber forensics and advanced threat investigations, with a particular focus on open-source approaches that promote transparency, accessibility, and community-driven innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scope
The CFATI 2025 workshop aims to showcase both theoretical and practical developments in digital forensics and cyber-physical systems security, with an emphasis on open-source tools and frameworks. Submissions discussing novel techniques for gathering evidentiary data from networked devices and services, especially within CPS and IoT ecosystems, are highly encouraged. We also invite works that reproduce existing studies or further validate state-of-the-art solutions, thereby ensuring robust and trustworthy systems for tomorrow\u2019s emerging technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
