Latest Advancements in Machine Learning Applications for Cybersecurity

Dear Colleagues,

The increasing complexity of cyberattacks necessitates advanced, robust, and reliable security mechanisms. Machine learning (ML) has emerged as a powerful tool in the modern cybersecurity arena, enabling various network devices to operate more efficiently and reliably. As cyber threats continue to rapidly evolve in nature and complexity, there is a need for active ongoing research into ML-based cybersecurity solutions. This Special Issue aims to explore the latest advancements in ML applications for cybersecurity, emphasizing both theoretical and practical implementations.

The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following topics.

• ML-based intrusion detection/prevention;
• Impact of adversarial machine learning (AML) in cybersecurity;
• Anomaly and malware detection;
• Applications of ML in Internet of Things (IoT) security;
• Role of high-quality datasets in ML-based cybersecurity.

We invite high-quality submissions including original research articles, survey papers, and studies that present innovative approaches, evaluations, and real-world applications of ML in cybersecurity. Papers that discuss challenges, pave the way for new research avenues, and propose methodologies to improve the trustworthiness of existing ML-based cybersecurity solutions are also encouraged.

You may choose our Joint Special Issue in Network.
