About This Special Issue
Cybersecurity is the protection of internet-connected devices and services from malicious attacks by hackers, spammers, and other cybercriminals. With the increasing number of users, devices, and programs in the modern enterprise, combined with the increased deluge of data, the importance of cybersecurity continues to grow. The growing volume and sophistication of cyber attackers and attack techniques compound the problem even further. Cybersecurity is continually challenged by hackers, data loss, privacy, risk management, and changing cybersecurity strategies. The cyber threat landscape is constantly evolving as IT architectures change and cybercriminals develop new tools and techniques. Managing corporate cybersecurity risk requires designing and deploying defenses against the latest risks. Some of the biggest cybersecurity challenges that companies will face in 2023 include comprehensive threat protection, round-the-clock monitoring, access to up-to-date threat intelligence, and providing comprehensive coverage and protection for all potential attack vectors. Cybersecurity is essential in today's digital world, and one single security breach can lead to exposing the personal information of millions of people.
The primary goal of cybersecurity is to ensure secure storage, control access, and prevent unauthorized processing, transfer, or deletion of data. It safeguards the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information. The ultimate goal of cybersecurity is to protect the information from being stolen or compromised. The growing volume and sophistication of cyber attackers and attack techniques compound the problem even further.
Through this special issue, we aim to, welcome researchers from various disciplines to provide interdisciplinary perspectives our contributions will play a crucial role in advancing knowledge in this field.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

  1. Zero-Day vulnerabilities: Research on discovering, analyzing, and mitigating zero-day vulnerabilities, which are unknown and unpatched security flaws that can be exploited by attackers
  2. Machine learning for intrusion detection: Exploring the use of machine learning algorithms for improving intrusion detection systems, including anomaly detection and behavioral analysis
  3. IoT security: Investigating security challenges in the Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem, including securing connected devices, data privacy, and network resilience
  4. Cloud security: Research on securing cloud computing environments, including data protection, access control, and compliance in cloud services
  5. Threat intelligence and information sharing: Studying how organizations can effectively gather threat intelligence, share information, and collaborate to defend against cyber threats
  6. Blockchain and cryptocurrency security: Examining security issues related to blockchain technology, smart contracts, and the use of cryptocurrencies, including fraud prevention and privacy concerns
  7. Cyber-physical systems security: Investigating security challenges in cyber-physical systems, including autonomous vehicles, industrial control systems, and smart grids
