Welcome to the Eighth International Workshop on Evolving Security and Privacy Requirements Engineering (ESPRE'21)

ESPRE brings together international researchers and practitioners with a common interest towards evolving security and privacy requirements. The workshop probes the interfaces between Security, Privacy, and Requirements Engineering, exploring evolving approaches enhancing the practice of Security and Privacy Requirements Engineering, whilst accounting for the ever changing needs of consumers and organisations. Stakeholders may, for example, include business analysts and security engineers, to technology entrepreneurs and privacy advocates, and perhaps most importantly, accounting for system users and context of use. ESPRE invites papers covering a variety of topics pertinent to Security and Privacy Requirements Engineering, such as elicitation and analysis techniques, ontologies, and other Requirements Engineering processes The opening keynote session presented by Travis Breaux will aim to address important factors relevant to ESPRE participants. This will be followed by the presentations of accepted papers, providing a focus towards sessions incorporating security, privacy, and compliance requirements engineering. We are very grateful to the programme committee and external reviewers for their hard work providing insightful and thoughtful feedback on the submissions received. We appreciate their assistance and the time taken by authors contributing to this year's programme in what continues to be challenging times across the world. We hope you enjoy reading these proceedings as much as we enjoyed collating them.
