Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the digital age, cyberspace has become a vital arena for economic, social, and political activities. As technological advancements continue, ensuring the security and resilience of cyberspace is increasingly critical. With the rise of cyber threats such as data breaches, DDoS attacks, and AI-driven security risks, it is essential to develop robust mechanisms to protect digital infrastructures and sensitive information. This Special Issue aims to address the urgent need for comprehensive solutions that tackle both traditional and emerging cybersecurity challenges. We invite high-quality research papers exploring cutting-edge techniques, strategies, and frameworks designed to safeguard digital ecosystems. The issue will highlight innovative contributions in securing cyberspace and strengthening systems against evolving cyber threats. Additionally, we encourage extended versions of papers from the StrongNet Forum 2025. We welcome papers on the following topics:
- Network Security
- Cyber Resilience
- Emerging Cyber Threats
- AI and Machine Learning in Cybersecurity
- Privacy Protection and Data Security
- Cybersecurity for Critical Infrastructure
