AMASS 2026

The AMASS 2026 Workshop addresses one of today’s most critical cybersecurity challenges: the exponential rise of sophisticated malware and software-based threats. While malware research often appears within broader cybersecurity venues, a clear gap remains in focused discussions at the intersection of malware analysis, software engineering, and intelligent defence systems. 

The workshop aims to bridge that gap by establishing a dedicated forum for sharing advancements in malware detection, vulnerability discovery, and software hardening through AI-driven and data-centric approaches. Despite the rapid growth of cyber threats and research activity worldwide, there is currently no comparable cybersecurity venue dedicated to these topics. 

The AMASS workshop aims to: 

• Create a dedicated platform for sharing research results, datasets, and tools in malware and software security. 

• Encourage collaboration between academia and industry, particularly in the context of threat intelligence and malware response. 

• Bridge static and dynamic analysis communities and foster reproducibility in malware research. 

• Support the next generation of researchers through discussions, demos, and early-stage research presentations.
