will be held between November 17 and 19, 2025 in Miami, Florida, USA. This
three-day event is expected to attract over 100 participants including
academics, practitioners, and vendors providing opportunities for business and
intellectual engagement among attendees. The focus is on the next generation
cyber analytics, security and forensics including the application and
deployment of contemporary technologies (e.g., Generative AI, and large
language model) in various security and forensic settings. The conference will
feature technical / research paper presentations and keynote speakers, as well
as a range of other exciting activities.</p>
