The proceedings of the 16th ICGS3-24 will be published by Springer ‘Advanced Sciences and Technologies for Security Applications’ series.
Date: 25th, 26th & 27th November 2024
Location: Virtual Conference
Over the last two decades, technology relating to cyber space (satellite, drones, UAVs), cybersecurity, artificial intelligence and Generative AI has evolved rapidly. Today, criminals have identified rewards from online frauds therefore, the risks and threats of cyber attacks has increased too.
The aim of 16th ICGS3-24 is to understand the full impact of cybersecurity, AI, deepfake and Quantum computing on humanity. We are now at an age of technological advances such as Satellite communications, Drones and UAVs in conjunction with AI and GenAI that has never seen before. The ability to manage cybersecurity threats which requires identification, assessment and understanding of the threat together with clear accountability will be the foundation of the our debates and future strategies.
Detection of the threat is another strand to the strategy and will require dynamic risk management techniques, strong and up to date information governance standards and frameworks with AI responsive approaches in order to successfully monitor and co-ordinate efforts between the parties.
Thus, the ability to minimise the threats from cyber is an important requirement. This will be a mission critical aspect of the strategy with development of the right cybersecurity skills, knowledge and culture that are imperative for the implementation of the cyber strategies. Especially when this strategy is created within the artificial intelligence concept. As a result, the requirement for how AI Demand will influence business change and thus influence organisations and governments is becoming important.
In an era of unprecedented volatile, political and economic environment across the world, computer based systems face ever more increasing challenges, disputes and responsibilities and while the Internet has created a global platform for the exchange of ideas, goods and services, however, it has also created boundless opportunities for cyber-crime.
The ethical and legal implications of connecting the physical and digital worlds, and presenting the reality of a truly interconnected society, presents the realization of the concept of smart societies.
Drawing on 15 years of successful events, the 16th ICGS3-24 conference aims to provide attendees with an information-packed agenda with representatives from across the industry and the globe.
This Annual International Conference is an established platform in which security, safety, and sustainability issues can be examined from several global perspectives through dialogue between academics, students, government representatives, chief executives, security professionals, and research scientists from the United Kingdom and from around the globe.
The THREE days Virtual conference will focus on the challenges of complexity, the rapid pace of change, and risk/opportunity issues associated with the 21st-century lifestyle, systems, and infrastructures.
This conference will be organised by Northumbria University, UK, which is an Academic Center for Excellence in Cyber Security Research (ACE-CSR) recognised by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) and Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), along with other partners.

The dark side of Gen AI: ethical and legislative challenges, potential risks and governance
This special session is a platform to debate and provide a better understanding of the full impact of cybersecurity, AI, deepfake and Quantum computing on humanity. We are now at an age of technological advances of AI and GenAI that has never seen before. The ability to manage cybersecurity threats which requires identification, assessment and understanding of the threat together with clear accountability will be the foundation of the our debates and future strategies.
The requirement for how AI will influence business change and thus influence organisations and governments is becoming important.
The aim of this special session is to examine and cover some of the topics below (but are not limited to):

Dr Reza Montasari, University of Swansea, UK
Dr Nasr Abosata, Northumbria University London, UK
Satellite, Drones and UAVs Cybersecurity threats and countermeasures
Space exploration and satellite technology plus Drone and UAVs have travelled a long way in recent years and some may debate that we are in the midst of a revolution, in terms of development and the increasing number of satellites and unmanned Aerial systems. Future 5G and 6G networks can be constructed and operated using satellites and space technology. As satellites sit in a global sphere that belong to no nation, it makes space governance a complicated dynamic with many entities contributing to their own requirements and not necessarily taking into account all aspects or other factors. It opens up many questions regarding control, data, privacy, security, and so on.
The aim of this special session is to examine and cover some of the topics below (but are not limited to):
Undergraduate and Postgraduate Poster session
Session Chair:
Stefan Kendzierskyj, Cyfortis, UK – stefan@cyfortis.co.uk
Co-Chair:
Dr Abdulrahman Salih, abdul.salih@northumbria.ac.uk
16th ICGS3-24 will host a virtual poster session, to provide an opportunity for postgraduate and final year Undergraduate students to share ideas, ongoing research, and accomplishments from around the globe in the context of Cybersecurity and Human Capabilities through Symbiotic Artificial Intelligence.
Presenting a poster is a good way to engage in an in-depth discussion about the presented work from which new ideas and solutions can emerge and initiate conversation with conference attendees interested in the same area.
Format and time:
Please use the poster template here.
16th ICGS3-24 poster session will be held virtually, meaning that all posters will be presented at an online exhibition area on the ICGS3-24 area on the afternoon of 25th November 2024. Details will be provided nearer the time.
The posters WILL NOT be included on the proceedings of the conference, but, once collated in a form of poster electronic magazine it will be shared with the students.
Topics of the poster presentations will be the same as the above suggested topics.
Poster registration:
All accepted posters are part of 16th ICGS3-24. Participation at 16th ICGS3-24 is subject to registration fees. It will cost £50 for students participation with only 1 POSTER submissions (plus attendance of the conference sessions only).

“I chose Northumbria because the AACSB double accreditation for the Business School was attractive to me. The ability to develop my language skills was another element which I liked, I wanted to improve my English and work with a diverse group of people. I most enjoy being in an environment which is so diverse as it gives you more vocational skills. Participating in group work has encouraged me to adapt my learning style and ability to work with a wider range of people. The teachers here are very open and encourage us to keep in touch with them regarding our work.”
At Northumbria University, we embrace tomorrow. We pursue new thinking, forge new partnerships, create and exchange new knowledge, and find new solutions. Confident and creative in everything we do, we offer leadership and direction in this fast-changing world.
