Computer security aims to preserve system integrity whilst computer forensics aims to explain the cause for an event or set of events. Computer security is an established field of computer science, whilst forensic computing is an emergent area. Increasingly, computer security will involve forensic investigation techniques, and vice versa, due to the degree of overlap in raw material used by both fields. Therefore, both fields have much to learn from each other. The purpose of this conference is to bring together researchers and practitioners to present and share the latest developments in research and applications in both these fields.

This conference brings together academics, IT managers, system administrators, security specialists, forensic practitioners, and anyone interested in

• the most advanced research in computer security and computer forensics
• the latest developments in computer security and computer forensics applications
• sharing views and experiences between academia and practitioners.

The conference will be organised into a number of tracks for both academia and industry, which include refereed paper presentations, panel discussions and invited talks based on the submissions received and the interests expressed. The topics below are for guidance only and not as an exhaustive list:

• Intrusion Detection Systems
• Wireless and ad hoc network security
