On behalf of the CSNet 2025 Committee, we are pleased to welcome you all to its 8th edition from October 20 to 22, hosted in the wonderful city of Abu Dhabi, UAE.
Since the first successful edition in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (2017), and subsequent editions in Paris (2018), Quito (2019), Lausanne (2020), Abu Dhabi (2021), Rio de Janeiro (2022), Montreal (2023) and Paris (2024), the CSNet conference has aimed to bring future visions for creating even greater value to all corners of the cybersecurity research society.
This year, CSNet 2025 will center around the "GenAI and Cybersecurity" theme, encompassing both AI for Cybersecurity and Cybersecurity for AI. The theme highlights the challenges and opportunities of AI in reinforcing security and privacy within traditional cybersecurity domains such as cloud computing and cryptography. The integration of GenAI into cybersecurity represents a pivotal advancement with the potential to revolutionize how we protect and secure digital infrastructure.


AI has shown remarkable capabilities in automating and enhancing various aspects of cybersecurity. From predictive analytics that anticipate cyber threats to intelligent systems that detect and mitigate attacks in real time, AI-driven solutions are becoming indispensable. These technologies improve the efficiency and effectiveness of security measures and adapt to the evolving threat landscape, providing robust defense mechanisms against increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks.
Like any other tool or system, AI introduces its own security threats, which require the development of new security mechanisms to address them. For instance, prompt injection attacks raise important challenges for Large Language Models (LLMs), which are increasingly integrated into various applications in daily life.

Combining researchers and industry professionals at CSNet 2025 allows to forge new pathways and develop comprehensive solutions addressing topics related to AI and cybersecurity.
CSNet 2025 seeks contributions in full papers, short papers, posters, demos, work-in-progress papers, and tutorials. We are particularly interested in innovative solutions and breakthrough ideas that can shape the future landscape of cybersecurity.

Authors are welcome to submit original papers that have not been published or simultaneously submitted to another venue with topics that include but are not limited to:

AI-Driven Security and Threat Management
AI for cybersecurity: challenges, opportunities, and threats.
AI-based security monitoring, anomaly detection, intrusion prevention, and response.
