The 21st International Conference on Critical Information Infrastructures Security (CRITIS 2026), which will be hosted by the Cybersecurity & Telecommunications Research Lab (CTRL) of the Open University of Cyprus (OUC) on 28–30 September 2026 in Larnaca, Cyprus, invites researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and industry experts to submit original contributions on the security, resilience, and protection of critical information infrastructures (C(I)IP) and essential services.
Building on twenty successful editions, CRITIS has established itself as a leading international forum for cutting-edge research, emerging challenges, and practical solutions at the intersection of technology, operations, and policy.
As critical infrastructures become increasingly interconnected and exposed to evolving cyber, physical, human, and environmental threats, CRITIS 2026 aims to foster interdisciplinary dialogue and innovative approaches that strengthen security, resilience, and mission continuity across sectors.
