Overview

Where cybersecurity meets artificial intelligence

Rapid digitalization, the spread of IoT and cyber-physical systems, and the adoption of AI have introduced new classes of security challenges. CyDPIDS-2026 examines how intelligent systems defend data and infrastructure — and how those systems are themselves secured.

AI-driven security

Intelligent threat detection, adversarial machine learning, behavioral biometrics, and AI-based attack prevention for resilient ecosystems.

Data protection & privacy

Secure storage, processing and transmission, personal-data protection, cryptography, and privacy-preserving techniques.

Resilient systems

Security of IoT, cloud, edge and cyber-physical systems, fault tolerance, and protection of safety-critical infrastructure.

Objectives

What the workshop sets out to do

01

Address emerging threats
