Call for Papers - Research Track

The National Cyber Summit is a multi-track cyber security event held annually with an expectation of over 2000 participants and more than 100 exhibitors. The event features tracks dedicated to technical, organizational, and research topics to address the entire cyber threat landscape. The NCS is held in Huntsville, AL. Huntsville is home to the Army’s Redstone Arsenal and NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center. Army Material Command (AMC) is headquartered at Redstone Army Arsenal as well as the Army Aviation and Missile Research Development and Engineering Center, Missile Defense Agency, Army Space & Missile Defense Command/Army Forces Strategic Command, PEO Aviation and various other government organizations having a strong interest in cybersecurity. Huntsville is also home to the second largest research park in the nation where approximately 400 companies conduct business. This Cyber Security Summit offers an ideal venue for networking with government, industry, and Department of Defense attendees.
