We are pleased to announce the Annual Symposium on Information Assurance (ASIA '13). This event will be jointly held with the Annual New York State Cyber Security Conference (NYSCSC).

I would like to welcome the participation from H. Raghav Rao from University at Buffalo, SUNY, the symposium chair; Tae (Tom) Oh, from the Rochester Institute of Technology who is serving as the Program Chair; Karen Sorady from OCS, our Organization Chair; Damira Pon from CIFA, the Proceedings Chair; Bill Stackpole and Sylvia Perez-Hardy from the Rochester Institute of Technology who are our Review Co-Chairs as well as our Advisory Committee Members: Raj Sharman and Shambhu Upadhyaya, University at Buffalo, SUNY; Nasir Memon, NYS Polytechnic; Gurpreet Dhillon, Virginia Commonwealth University; as well as Bhavani Thuraisingham, UT Dallas. I am also extremely grateful to our numerous prestigious Program Committee members who are listed in the Organizing Committee page.

This is a two-day event that attracts practitioners, researchers, and vendors providing opportunities for business and intellectual engagement among attendees. ASIA '13 will be held at the Governor Nelson A. Rockefeller Empire State Plaza Convention Center, Albany, NY 12242 on June 4-5, 2013. Through generous sponsorships, we are able to have free registration for all selected presenters, authors of accepted papers, and members of government organizations. All people who participate in ASIA are able to attend the rest of the NYSCSC sessions that typically cover practical applications of information security.

The Annual NYS Cyber Security Conference is organized jointly by the University at Albany, State University of New York (SUNY) School of Business and College of Computing and Information, the NYS Forum, Inc., the New York State Office of Cyber Security (OCS) and the New York State Office of Information Technology Services. This conference provides crucial knowledge that enables the attendees to stay attuned to cyber security threats and effectively meet the challenges we are facing.

Look forward to seeing you at ASIA '13!
