DACS Introduction
In today's data-driven world, data analytics and cyber security are two of the most critical fields of study. Data analytics plays a vital role in extracting valuable insights from large and complex datasets, enabling organizations to make informed decisions, optimize operations, and gain a competitive edge. On the other hand, cyber security is paramount in protecting sensitive data and critical infrastructure from cyberattacks, ensuring the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of information systems.
The DACS 2026 conference is the 9th edition and the 2nd as an independent conference. The conference in the previous year (7th DACS-2024) was held at IIM Bodh Gaya, India.
