Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cybersecurity has become an essential pillar in the advancement of the fourth industrial revolution, as digital systems continue to expand across all sectors of the global economy. From critical infrastructure and healthcare to finance, manufacturing, and beyond, the reliance on interconnected digital platforms increases our exposure to a wide range of cyber threats. As a result, innovative cybersecurity solutions are urgently needed to ensure trust, resilience, and data protection in complex and dynamic environments.
This Special Issue, entitled “Advances in Cybersecurity”, aims to explore the latest developments, challenges, and opportunities in securing digital systems and networks. We are particularly interested in original research, methodologies, prototypes, and practical implementations that offer effective responses to emerging cybersecurity risks, while supporting the safe deployment of transformative digital technologies.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- AI and machine learning applications in threat detection and cyber defense;
- Security solutions for IoT, autonomous systems, and smart environments;
- Blockchain and distributed ledger technologies for secure data management;
- Cybersecurity for critical infrastructure and industrial control systems;
- Privacy-enhancing technologies and secure multi-party computation;
- Next-generation identity, authentication, and access control systems;
- Threat intelligence, malware analysis, and intrusion detection;
- Cyber risk assessment, incident response, and digital forensics.
