11th International Conference on Software Security (ICSS 2025)

11th International Conference on Software Security (ICSS 2025) is traditionally, security in software has been thought to be something that can be easily added on as a patch, post-development, and sometimes even after the deployment of the software. According to the US-Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT), “most successful attacks result from targeting and exploiting known, non-patched software vulnerabilities and insecure software configurations, many of which are introduced during design and code.” Hence, it is imperative that secure design, coding and testing principles as well as deployment and maintenance are thoroughly embedded in the software development lifecycle. At the same time, software security is very inter-disciplinary, as software is being developed for a variety of applications – web, Internet, database, single and distributed computer systems, etc.

International Conference on Software Security (ICSS 2025) is traditionally, security in
software has been thought to be something that can be easily added on as a patch, post-
development, and sometimes even after the deployment of the software. According to the US-
Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT), “most successful attacks result from
targeting and exploiting known, non-patched software vulnerabilities and insecure software
configurations, many of which are introduced during design and code.” Hence, it is imperative
that secure design, coding and testing principles as well as deployment and maintenance are
thoroughly embedded in the software development lifecycle. At the same time, software security
is very inter-disciplinary, as software is being developed for a variety of applications – web,
Internet, database, single and distributed computer systems, etc.
