Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on how developments in artificial intelligence (AI) are helping to improve cyber security provision and counteract the actions of those seeking to cause social harm and disruption. In addition, we encourage those involved in various aspects of AI research to submit their papers for consideration for possible publication in this Special Issue, which will look more broadly into the link between AI and cyber security. Considering the challenges and ethical issues associated with AI and its rapidly growing influence, it is of particular interest to us to determine how the challenges created, both positive and negative, can be dealt with by managers and security specialists in the private and public sectors. Hence, this Special Issue will bring together various researchers that can identify and offer solutions to recurring cyber security-related problems and simultaneously offer new insights into how cyber security policy can be improved for the protection of organizations and the wider community. We are open to papers of various types and which use various methodological approaches. Researchers involved in various industry studies are welcome to submit their research for possible publication in this Special Issue. We are also keen to receive review papers that contribute to the discussion around AI and its applications. It is anticipated that single-discipline, inter-disciplinary, and multi-disciplinary studies will feature in this Special Issue, and those that submit a paper will benefit from a rigorous peer review process. Papers submitted for peer review can be theoretical in nature, empirical, or conceptual, and can be written in the form of a literature review. Case studies are also welcome. Both early-career researchers and established authors are welcome to submit their papers for review.
This Special Issue will add to the existing literature relating to cyber security and will broaden our knowledge of cyber threat intelligence and counterintelligence, highlighting the processes, concepts, and models that can be deployed against an ever-increasing cyber threat. However, other topics and subject areas will be considered, as we wish to adopt a wide and all-encompassing approach. Papers can be specific in nature or broad-based, and should appeal to various audiences, including academics, researchers, students, business practitioners, and government representatives.
