Cyberpatterns

Cyberspace in increasingly important to people in their everyday lives for purchasing goods on the Internet to energy supply increasingly managed remotely using Internet protocols. Unfortunately this dependence makes us susceptible to attacks from nation states terrorists criminals and hactivists. Therefore we need a better understanding of cyberspace for which patterns which are predictable regularities may help to detect understand and respond to incidents better. The inspiration for the workshop came from the existing work on formalising design patterns applied to cybersecurity but we also need to understand the many other types of patterns that arise in cyberspace.
