ACSAC is thrilled to celebrate its 35th year bringing together cutting-edge researchers, with a broad cross-section of security professionals drawn from academia, industry, and government, to present and discuss the latest computer and network security topics and results. This year's hard topic theme, Deployable and Impactful Security, focuses on research results and technologies that are more practical and applied, and can be potentially deployed, where they can have a direct impact on improving the quality of security in real-world systems. Deployable and impactful security generally involves the development of defensive solutions, rather than simply exposing weaknesses and vulnerabilities. While ACSAC has always solicited work on applied security, by having it as a hard topic theme we hope to put greater emphasis on deployability and impactfulness. |
