Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of the MDPI Journal of Applied Sciences presents recent advances in cybersecurity technology and cybercecurity management, addressing growing digital threats with innovative strategies. A major focus is on enhancing cyber resilience, enabling systems to resist attacks and recover quickly while maintaining critical operations.
This Special Issue highlights the role of open-source intelligence (OSINT) in early threat detection and informed decision-making, demonstrating its significance in both offensive and defensive cybersecurity. Another key theme is critical infrastructure protection, offering frameworks to defend essential systems—such as those in energy and transportation—against advanced threats.
Contributions also explore the integration of cybersecurity into cyber-physical systems (CPSs), emphasizing the need to secure digitally connected physical processes in sectors like healthcare, manufacturing, and smart grids. Additionally, the intersection of cybersecurity and disaster management is examined, focusing on secure systems that support crisis coordination and resilience.
Finally, the Special Issue includes studies on secure communication and cryptographic innovations, presenting new algorithms that ensure data confidentiality and integrity.
Together, these contributions offer a multidimensional view of emerging cybersecurity challenges and solutions, providing valuable insights for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers who are dedicated to safeguarding today’s increasingly interconnected digital and physical environments.
