Hybrid Developments in Cyber Security and Threat Analysis

This special issue belongs to the section “Computer Science & Engineering“.

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

At present, network connectivity is a necessity for most people. The minimum requirements for data transfer are security and privacy. Additionally, intrusion, data poisoning, and port bombarding are common issues in network communication. Cyber attackers can build cyber armies that can pursue computationally challenging tasks by leveraging the untapped processing power of a very large number of everyday endpoints. Cyber-attacks are at an all-time high, even during the pandemic. The capability to detect, analyze, and defend against such threats in near-real-time conditions is not possible without the employment of threat intelligence, big data, and machine-learning techniques.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
