Surprisingly at times, many of the attacks can be individually simple yet highly damaging due to their large-scale co-ordination and polymorphic replication with continuous self-upgradation using a mix of peer-to-peer and command-and-control architectures. Conventional approaches of single-hosted security defensives are becoming increasingly less effective in the face of such sophisticated and co-ordinated multi-front attacks using bot-nets of compromised always-on, always-connected computers. In contrast, a distributed defense pattern shows promise both in terms of manageability, reduced operating costs and architectural simplicity. This broad area of defense using Collaborative Security technologies works on the principles of sharing:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>- information and knowledge for accelerating detection of and response to new attacks and threats;<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>- resources for increasing the efficiency and reducing resource consumption. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>The 3rd International workshop on Collaborative Security Technologies aims to bring to the forefront innovative approaches that involve the use of collaborative methods for security and privacy. The central theme of this workshop is to focus attention on the collaborative and intelligent approaches towards design of security systems so as to make them more robust and reliable. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>Technical papers describing original, previously unpublished research, not currently under review by another conference or journal, are solicited.
