Issues and Challenges   When: 10 - 14 December, 2017 Where: Department of Computer Science & Engineering, University of Dhaka. Dhaka-1000, Bangladesh INTRODUCTION: Collaboration and sharing of information among various universities are highly important for research and development. For example, BdREN has already connected 36 universities in different locations of the country, triggering information sharing amongst the universities and setting up a launching pad for collaborative research.  However, the huge volume of data sharing using such network has made it an ideal target for malicious attackers. In this regard, there is an urgent need to increase security of campus networks. State of the art security protocols and security best practices needs to be implemented to serve over 100 million students in various campuses in Bangladesh. In this regard, Department of Computer Science & Engineering, University of Dhaka is organizing this workshop with the support of Asi@Connect project of TEIN*CC.
