Machine Learning and Data Analytics for Cyber Security

Dear Colleagues,

Cyber security is primarily concerned with the protection of digital systems and their respective data. Therefore, how we analyse and monitor such systems is a crucial step towards their protection. Machine learning, as a form of data analytics, has seen much use in the field of cyber security in recent years, for helping to process and analyse vast volumes of information to make for actionable intelligence for security analysts. In this Topical Collection, we invite papers that address the topics of machine learning and data analytics, and their applications to addressing challenges in cyber security.

The possible topics may include, but are not limited to:

• Network traffic analysis;
• Malware analysis;
• Behavioural analysis;
• Social media analysis;
• Wireless sensor security;
• Mobile and web application security;
• Machine learning for system security;
• The security of machine learning;
• Adversarial machine learning;
• The security of the Industrial IoT;
• The security of connected autonomous vehicles;
• The security of HealthTech;
• Machine learning for cybercrime;
• Data visualisation for cyber security;
• Analysis techniques for cyber security.
