Der Call for Papers für die siebte internationale Konferenz zur IT-Sicherheitsvorfallsbearbeitung (Incident Response) und IT-Forensik ist veröffentlicht. Interessierte sind aufgerufen, bis zum 29. Oktober 2012 wissenschaftliche Papiere (full papers) oder Praxispapiere (practice papers) zu den genannten Themen einzureichen. Daneben können auch Vorschläge zu Workshops eingereicht werden. Die IMF arbeitet mit der IEEE Computer Society zusammen und der Konferenzband wird in der der IEEE CS Proceedings Reihe veröffentlicht. Das RUS-CERT fungiert als Mitveranstalter der IMF-Konferenzreihe. Im Jahr 2012 findet keine IMF statt. UPDATE: Die Einreichungsfrist wurde verlängert.

Conference Background

Today IT security is an integral aspect in operating IT-Systems. Yet, despite high-end precautionary measures taken, not every attack or security mishap can be prevented and hence incidents will go on happening. In such cases forensic capabilities in investigating incidents in both technical and legal aspects are paramount. Thus, capable incident response and forensic procedures have gained essential relevance in IT infrastructure operations and there is ample need for research and standardization in this area.

In law enforcement IT forensics is an important branch and its significance constantly increases since IT has become an essential part in almost every aspect of daily life. IT systems produce traces and evidence in many ways that play a more and more relevant role in resolving cases.

Conference Goals

The IMF conference provides a platform for experts from throughout the world to present and discuss recent technical and methodical advances in the fields of IT security incident response and management and IT forensics. It shall enable collaboration and exchange of ideas between industry (both as users and solution providers), academia, law-enforcement and other government bodies.

• Dealing with Vulnerabilities (Vulnerability Response)
• Monitoring and Early Warning
• Incident Response in Non-Standard Environments (e.g. Embedded Systems)
• Education and Training
• Organizations
• Legal and Enterprise Aspects (Jurisdiction, Applicable Laws and Regulations)

• Trends and Challenges in IT Forensics
• Application of forensic techniques in new areas
• Techniques, Tools in Procedures IT Forensics
• Methods for the Gathering, Handling, Processing and Analysis of Digital Evidence
