Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue on "Security in System and Software" delves into the multifaceted challenges and advancements in securing modern technological environments. It addresses the increasing complexity of cybersecurity in the face of emerging threats, particularly those posed by the rapid adoption of IoT, AI, and cloud technologies. This issue emphasizes the importance of integrating security into the software development lifecycle, offering insights into innovative security architectures and models. It also explores the latest tools and techniques for detecting vulnerabilities and conducting security assessments, including both automated and manual testing methods. Privacy and data protection are also key areas of focus, with discussions on how to implement privacy-preserving technologies and meet regulatory requirements like GDPR. In addition, this issue covers strategies for incident response and digital forensics, providing practical guidance on handling and investigating security breaches. Real-world case studies from various industries illustrate these concepts, highlighting the practical applications of research findings. Finally, the issue identifies current research gaps and suggests future directions, advocating for more interdisciplinary collaboration to tackle evolving security challenges.
