Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The ubiquity of interconnected systems, driven by the proliferation of the Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud computing, has heightened the vulnerability of digital infrastructures to an array of cyber threats. The dynamic nature of technological innovation, while facilitating unprecedented connectivity and efficiency, has also inadvertently introduced exploitable weaknesses. Sophisticated cyber attacks, ranging from data breaches and ransomware to identity theft, capitalize on these vulnerabilities to compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of digital assets. The escalating magnitude and diversity of cyber threats underscore the exigency of addressing the underlying reasons for their emergence.
In light of the escalating cyber threat landscape, the need to institute robust cyber security systems is unequivocal. Moreover, as the digital landscape extends to encompass critical infrastructure, healthcare, finance, and beyond, the deployment of advanced encryption protocols and robust authentication mechanisms becomes imperative to ensure the resilience of essential services. To cultivate a secure digital milieu and ensure the preservation of information integrity, user privacy, and societal stability, the construction of a comprehensive cyber security system has become of paramount significance in countering contemporary cyber threats.
This Special Issue aims to attract a collection of outstanding technical research and papers which cover a wide range of cyber security systems, providing a platform for the exchange of groundbreaking ideas, innovative methodologies, and empirical insights.
This Special Issue will focus on (but is not limited to) the following topics:
- Next-generation threat detection and mitigation;
- Secure software solutions;
- Data privacy and encryption;
- Network security;
- Artificial intelligence for security;
- IoT security;
- Cloud and edge security;
- Cybersecurity in critical infrastructure;
- Blockchain solutions for cyber security and trust.
