Network and Distributed System Security (NDSS) Symposium 2026
About the Security Event
The NDSS Symposium 2026 will bring together leading researchers, practitioners and developers who focus on the security of networked and distributed systems. When participants gather from 23 to 27 February in San Diego, they will engage in deep discussions about system design, implementation and real-world security challenges affecting the Internet and its infrastructure. With a strong emphasis on practical and applied work rather than purely theoretical models, the event is particularly suited to those who design secure systems, deploy large-scale networks or defend critical services.
During the week, attendees will have access to peer-reviewed paper presentations, workshops and tutorials that present the latest findings in Internet security research. Beyond the sessions, the Symposium provides opportunities to connect with fellow practitioners, learn from the implementation successes and failures of others, and explore how new research can be translated into real systems. This blend of rigorous research and real-world relevance makes NDSS a must-attend event for anyone working in cybersecurity of network and distributed systems.
