======================================================================

The annual  DIMVA conference serves  as a premier forum  for advancing
the state  of the art  in intrusion detection, malware  detection, and
vulnerability   assessment.    Each   year   DIMVA   brings   together
international  experts  from  academia,  industry  and  government  to
present and discuss novel research  in these areas. DIMVA is organized
by  the special  interest  group Security  -  Intrusion Detection  and
Response  (SIDAR) of  the  German  Informatics  Society (GI) and takes
place 9/10-07-2009 in Como, Italy.

This year's program features a single technical track with 13 papers
DIMVA 2009 will also feature two invited talks by renowned experts:

* Henry Stern, Ironport / Cisco:
  A New Era in Security Collaboration: Turning the Tables on Botnets

* Richard Kemmerer, University of California Santa Barbara
  How to Steal a Botnet and What Can Happen When You Do

The conference program will be complemented by

* a Rump Session: a series of short and entertaining talks where
  attendees can present recent research results, work in progress,
  or other topics of interest to the community.

  Please contact the Rump Session Chair, Sven Dietrich, at
  rump-chair () dimva org for submission questions.

* CIPHER 5: a "Capture The Flag"-style contest in IT security for
  teams of students from universities around the world. CIPHER is
