Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, 'New Challenges in Information Security, Privacy, and Cyber Resilience', will address the evolving landscape of digital threats and the need for innovative strategies to safeguard sensitive information, uphold privacy, and fortify organizational resilience in the face of cyber incidents.
In an era marked by rapid technological advancement, the proliferation of interconnected devices, and the widespread adoption of cloud computing, digital ecosystems have become increasingly vulnerable. This Special Issue delves into emerging threats such as sophisticated cyber-attacks, ransomware, data breaches, supply chain security, and social engineering techniques, providing a platform for experts, researchers, and practitioners to explore novel approaches to data security.
The Special Issue emphasizes the intricate interplay between information security, privacy, and cyber resilience and highlights the pressing need for holistic frameworks that not only fortify digital fortifications, but also uphold the privacy rights of individuals and organizations. We are seeking cutting-edge research on encryption protocols, authentication mechanisms, and access control systems that strike a balance between security and privacy.
This Special Issue will also focus on cyber resilience—the capacity to anticipate, prepare for, respond to, and recover from cyber incidents—covering topics such as incident response planning, threat intelligence sharing, and the role of human factors in bolstering cyber resilience.
The Special Issue seeks to bridge the gap between theoretical advancements and real-world applications, fostering a collaborative environment between academia and industry. It aims to equip cybersecurity professionals with the knowledge and tools necessary to stay ahead of evolving threats, ensuring the continued integrity, confidentiality, and availability of critical information.
The research published in this Special Issue will provide definitive resource for scholars, practitioners, and policymakers working towards a safer and more secure digital future.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Cybersecurity in modern computerized ecosystems (e.g., Internet of Things (IoT), cyber-physical systems (CPS), supply chains, smart cities and intelligent environments, etc.);
- Privacy preservation and data protection in the digital era;
- Cyber resilience of critical infrastructures;
- Artificial intelligence in cyber protection;
- Cyber threat intelligence and information sharing among collaborating organizations and communities;
- Incident response planning and playbooks;
- Secure development lifecycle for software and hardware;
- Opensource software/hardware guarantees and bill of materials (BOM);
- Security validation and theoretic aspects of security;
- Cyber ranges training, raising awareness, and ethical aspects.
