Top Cyber Security Conferences Ranking (2021)

Here we define the Conference Impact Factor (CIF) as follows:

        CIF = 1 / (AR+PR+CR), where

AR = No. of accepted papers / No. of submissions

PR = No. of accepted papers / No. of participants

CR = No. of accepted papers / No. of citations (≈ 5 / h5-median)


Below is a CIF-based ranking of top cyber security conferences, for informal reference only. The CR data is from Google Scholar (h5-median). The ranking will be adjusted once a year. There is no intention to rank all cyber security conferences due to limited resources. However, if a conference that could be ranked above the last one in the list is missing, please let me know (with the supporting data of at least past 5 years). Small conferences (with less than 25 accepted papers or 80 participants on average) are excluded.
