social media and mobile technology growth and the coming of the internet of things (IoT) have led to new opportunities in cyber security and cyber forensic work. To counter this, a multidisciplinary effort involving stakeholders from cyber security, the legal profession, academia, public citizens, and law enforcement agencies is required. The Cyber security and Cyber forensics Conference (CCC 2016) brings together thought-leaders from these separate fields to discuss current and future approaches, technologies and legislation pertinent to the detection, prevention, investigation and prosecution of cybercrime and cyber attacks. The conference offers an interdisciplinary venue to discuss challenges, technologies, and emerging trends.

CCC 2016 invites researchers and practitioners from academia, industry and government, and accepts original, previously unpublished work. The scope of the conference is narrow to ensure a complementary match between capability and need. Papers should either be empirically or rationally based explorations of problems in cyber security and cyber forensic, or propose solutions and/or countermeasures to the most pressing cybercrimes.

All papers will be peer reviewed by three reviewers at least. Proceedings, all accepted papers will be published by Conference Publishing Services (CPS). http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/home Authors of selected papers will also be invited to prepare extended papers of their work for publication in the International Journal of Electronic Security and Digital Forensics.
