Conference on Cybersecurity and Applications (CCA'2026) - École Nationale Supérieure de Cybersécurité (ENSCS)

Conference on Cybersecurity and Applications (CCA'2026)

25-26 November, 2026

Description

The National School of Cybersecurity (NSCS) and the Information System Security Agency (ASSI) are pleased to announce the organization of the first edition of the "Conference on Cybersecurity and Applications (CCA'2026)", which will take place on November 25th–26th, 2026 at The "National School of Cybersecurity", located within the "Scientific and Technological Hub Chahid "Abdelhafid Ihaddadene", Sidi Abdallah, Algiers".

Currently, cybersecurity has become a cornerstone of trust, resilience, and sovereignty. With the rapid evolution of digital technologies, industrial and critical infrastructures, financial systems, healthcare services, and national security are increasingly exposed to cyber-attacks. Research in cybersecurity is therefore of paramount importance to develop new approaches, tools, and strategies for protecting data, systems, and users against malicious activities.

The CCA'2026 conference will focus on shaping the future of cybersecurity in Algeria. The event will offer academics, researchers, engineers, professionals and policymakers the opportunity to interact and exchange ideas, and present recent advances of their research results, projects, investigative works, industrial experiences and innovations, and build collaborative solutions that address both current and future challenges in such a rapidly changing field. It aims at bringing together researchers, academics, practitioners, students and professionals to discuss recent advances, challenges, and applications in the field of cybersecurity.
