The rapid growth of IoT systems across smart homes, healthcare, industry, transportation, and smart cities has created major challenges in security and privacy. IoT devices often operate with limited computation, weak authentication, heterogeneous communication protocols, and continuous data collection, making them vulnerable to attacks and privacy leakage. This workshop will bring together researchers and practitioners to discuss practical, scalable, and trustworthy approaches for securing IoT ecosystems while protecting user and device privacy.

The workshop will focus on both theoretical and applied research related to IoT security and privacy. It will provide a forum for new ideas, system designs, experimental results, and real-world deployments. The workshop is intended to attract contributions from academia, industry, and government stakeholders working on secure connected systems. We invite the submission of original papers on all topics related to Intelligent Systems for Cybersecurity, with special interest in but not limited to:

Lightweight authentication and authorization for IoT devices.
Secure communication protocols for constrained devices.
Privacy-preserving data collection, sharing, and analytics.
Trust management and identity management in IoT ecosystems.
Secure edge computing and cloud-IoT architectures.
Intrusion detection and anomaly detection for IoT networks.
Blockchain and distributed ledger technologies for IoT security.
Secure firmware updates, device lifecycle protection, and supply-chain security.
Access control and data governance in smart environments.
Security and privacy in smart healthcare, smart homes, and smart cities.
Adversarial machine learning and AI-driven attacks on IoT systems.
Federated learning and privacy-preserving intelligence for IoT.
Legal, ethical, and regulatory aspects of IoT privacy.
Security and Privacy in the Internet of Battlefield Things (IoBT).
Security and Privacy in the Medical Internet of Things (MIoT), Internet of Medical Things (IoMT).
