NSF-FAPESP Workshop on Cybersecurity and Privacy
Program Participants Directions FAQ
Proposal Description
The Workshop focuses on relevant topics in the Cybersecurity domain, and closely related to areas of interest from FAPESP and NSF, in particular: security of communication networks; security supported by Artificial Intelligence (AI), and the security of AI systems; and understanding information ecosystems, promoting information integrity. We believe attendance to the NSF-FAPESP Workshop on Cybersecurity and Privacy will be very beneficial to the integration and scientific collaboration between Brazil and the USA, promoting long-term relationships among the researchers and creating connections that will foment the creation of broader cooperation networks.
The Workshop
In an era where the digital landscape is becoming increasingly interconnected, distributed, and asynchronous, cybersecurity plays a pivotal role in safeguarding not only digital assets but also physical infrastructures. Modern cybersecurity spans across hardware, software, networks, data, and human interactions, revealing the critical need for comprehensive protection strategies. However, society's growing dependence on this intricate cyberspace has exposed a multitude of vulnerabilities that continue to challenge current defense mechanisms.
As cyberattacks persistently target companies, agencies, national infrastructures, and individuals, the need for a secure cyberspace is more urgent than ever.
To create a truly secure digital environment, it is essential to address both the technical and human factors involved. This includes solving scientific and engineering challenges that span across various system components while also mitigating vulnerabilities rooted in human behavior. A multidisciplinary approach to cybersecurity — examining the intersection of technology, privacy, human behavior, and ethical considerations — has the potential to transform how systems are designed, protected, and managed. Furthermore, educating and engaging individuals about cybersecurity can foster a culture of digital responsibility, motivating them to actively participate in securing cyberspace. Through such efforts, we can lay the groundwork for resilient infrastructures and a more secure future in the face of evolving cyber threats.
The goal of this workshop is to explore the challenges and innovative solutions regarding Cybersecurity, considering the large data science and analytics, visualization, security, algorithms for future cyber infrastructure, network security, security for artificial intelligence, information integrity, next-gen computing architectures and algorithms, human-centric computing, hardware, cryptography, and others.

VENUE
Venue: Hotel Fazenda Dona Carolina
Address: Manoel Stefani Municipal Road Km 39.5 of Rod. Alkindar Monteiro Junqueira - Rod. Itatiba - Bragança Paulista (110 km / 1h30 from São Paulo city.
The chosen location for hosting the NSF-FAPESP Workshop on Cybersecurity and Privacy is the Hotel Dona Carolina in Itatiba, São Paulo. A farm with over 100 years of history to tell. Built in 1872 by Dona Carolina and her husband, José Alves Cardoso, the Jaboticabal Farm was an important coffee producer. In 1919, after Dona Carolina passed away, the farm took on the name by which it is known today, in honor of its owner. In 1993, Dona Carolina’s descendants, admirers of the region’s exuberant nature, decided to share the farm’s charms with the public by transforming it into a historic hotel. Thus, the entire farm was restored and restructured to provide, with all the style and comfort, an exceptional structure and a unique experience to its guests. It is in this authentic Brazilian colonial complex, framed by the Atlantic Forest, that guests can enjoy incredible days in a farm hotel, near São Paulo, with personalized service and plenty of comfort.
