The Second International Workshop on Computational Intelligence for Security in Information Systems (CISIS’09) presented the most recent developments in the - namically expanding realm of several fields such as Data Mining and Intelligence, Infrastructure Protection, Network Security, Biometry and Industrial Perspectives. The International Workshop on Computational Intelligence for Security in Infor- tion Systems (CISIS) proposes a forum to the different communities related to the field of intelligent systems for security. The global purpose of CISIS conferences has been to form a broad and interdisciplinary meeting ground offering the opportunity to interact with the leading industries actively involved in the critical area of security, and have a picture of the current solutions adopted in practical domains. This volume of Advances in Intelligent and Soft Computing contains accepted - rd th pers presented at CISIS’09, which was held in Burgos, Spain, on September 23 -26 , 2009. After a through peer-review process, the International Program Committee selected 25 papers which are published in this workshop proceedings. This allowed the Scientific Committee to verify the vital and crucial nature of the topics involved in the event, and resulted in an acceptance rate close to 50% of the originally submitted manuscripts.

Computational Intelligence in Security for Information Systems

The research scenario in advanced systems for protecting critical infrastructures and for deeply networked information tools highlights a growing link between security issues and the need for intelligent processing abilities in the area of information s- tems. To face the ever-evolving nature of cyber-threats, monitoring systems must have adaptive capabilities for continuous adjustment and timely, effective response to modifications in the environment. Moreover, the risks of improper access pose the need for advanced identification methods, including protocols to enforce comput- security policies and biometry-related technologies for physical authentication. C- putational Intelligence methods offer a wide variety of approaches that can be fruitful in those areas, and can play a crucial role in the adaptive process by their ability to learn empirically and adapt a system’s behaviour accordingly. The International Workshop on Computational Intelligence for Security in Inf- mation Systems (CISIS) proposes a meeting ground to the various communities - volved in building intelligent systems for security, namely: information security, data mining, adaptive learning methods and soft computing among others. The main goal is to allow experts and researchers to assess the benefits of learning methods in the data-mining area for information-security applications. The Workshop offers the opportunity to interact with the leading industries actively involved in the critical area of security, and have a picture of the current solutions adopted in practical domains. This volume of Advances in Soft Computing contains accepted papers presented at CISIS’08, which was held in Genova, Italy, on October 23rd–24th, 2008.
