Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In this Special Issue, we will focus on the integration of computational intelligence (CI) paradigms and advanced cybersecurity frameworks to strengthen digital defense mechanisms.
This Special Issue will highlight how bio-inspired algorithms, machine learning models, and evolutionary computation are applied to detect, predict, and mitigate complex cyber threats. A key aspect of this issue is the enhancement of system resilience and adaptive defense capabilities within the context of an increasingly interconnected and hostile digital landscape.
Specifically, in the realm of network security and data privacy, this issue will underscore the importance of intelligent real-time monitoring to identify zero-day attacks and secure Internet of Things (IoT) environments. It will showcase innovative strategies like deep learning, swarm intelligence, and fuzzy systems, tailored to handle the high dimensionality and dynamic nature of cyber data.
In summary, this Special Issue will emphasize the critical role of intelligent, adaptive computing techniques in evolving the next generation of robust and autonomous cybersecurity systems.

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. Mathematics 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 2600 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.
