Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This is an invitation to the Applied Sciences Special Issue "Application of Deep Learning for Cybersecurity" to explore the deep learning transformation effect in the domain of cybersecurity. Traditional methods of defense are quite inadequate against attack vectors that are very quickly evolving, especially in view of the rapidly growing sophistication of cyber threats. Deep learning, with its ability to interrogate vast amounts of data and identify complex patterns within them, has come up with a very promising solution to such challenges.
We investigate, in this Special Issue, very recent research and applications of deep learning techniques at the service of different dimensions of Cybersecurity, including intrusion detection systems, malware classification, anomaly detection, and threat intelligence. The various contributions presented here illustrate the power of deep learning in helping to resolve some of the most important security issues organizations are facing today.
In particular, we would like to provide an overview of the current status of the field and point out the emerging trends, with the purpose of encouraging discussions about future directions of deep learning applied for cybersecurity. We wish that this set of articles is a useful contribution to all those researchers, practitioners, and decision-makers who need to keep pace with the ever-changing landscape of cyber threats.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
