Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cyber security is the practice of protecting systems, networks, and programs from digital attacks. Given the rapid digitization of all aspects of business and society, cyber security has become critical. Cyber attacks have become a daily challenge for businesses and society worldwide, and its threats are the top priority of global management. Businesses and society are investing huge sums in improving cyber security, along with the continuous adoption and updating of relevant technologies to resist cyber attacks, thereby maintaining system security and supporting sustainable development.
In the process of maintaining the sustainable development of systems, cyber security technology has many applications. This breadth of applications is also associated with a rich field of research opportunities. For example: How can technologies such as robot automation, blockchain and Internet of Things (IoT) applications help to improve the design of global business and social networks? How can data quality challenges be addressed in the sustainable operation of new ventures? How can big data analysis and optimization tools be used to combat advanced cyber attacks?
This Special Issue will focus on cutting-edge research from both academia and industry, and solicits original research papers with a particular emphasis on the application of cyber security in sustainable systems. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Reshaping a sustainable view of cyber security;
- Comparison of cyber security models of sustainable systems;
- Application of emerging technologies in improving system resilience;
- Dealing with data quality challenges in the process of sustainable operation;
- Security, privacy, and trust issues in sustainable systems;
- The impact of the introduction of AI on the cyber security of sustainable systems;
- A framework for sustainable systems management considering cyber security;
- Construction of a sustainable cyber security ecosystem;
- Problems encountered in the rapid digital transformation of various fields;
- Challenges in the sustainable operation of new ventures;
- Cyber security systems considering multi-level coordination and sustainability.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
