Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on the evolving landscape of cybersecurity in relation to embedded systems. As the integration of embedded systems in critical sectors like healthcare, automotive, and industrial control systems increases, so does the complexity and sophistication of cybersecurity threats that target these systems. This issue covers recent advancements, challenges, and future directions in protecting embedded systems against cyber threats.
Key topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Advanced Threat Detection Techniques: Investigating cutting-edge methods for detecting and mitigating cyber threats specific to embedded systems, including AI and machine learning-based approaches.
- Embedded System Vulnerabilities: Exploring the unique vulnerabilities inherent to embedded systems, including hardware and software aspects, and strategies for their mitigation.
- Secure Design and Development: Uncovering the best practices, methodologies, and tools for the secure design and development of embedded systems.
- Case Studies and Real-World Applications: An analysis of real-world cybersecurity incidents involving embedded systems, lessons learned, and the strategies that can be implemented for future prevention.
- Regulatory and Standardization Efforts: Examining current and emerging regulations, standards, and frameworks guiding cybersecurity in embedded systems.
- Future Trends and Emerging Technologies: Insights into future challenges and opportunities in this field, including the impact of emerging technologies such as IoT and edge computing for cybersecurity in embedded systems.
This Special Issue aims to bring together researchers, practitioners, and industry experts to share their insights and latest findings. Contributions can range from theoretical research to practical case studies, providing a comprehensive view of the current state and future prospects of cybersecurity for embedded systems.
