Recent Trends and Applications in Cybersecurity

Dear Colleagues,

In the last decade, cybersecurity has become very topical and attracted much attention from both researchers and engineers. Since the number of cybersecurity threats grows over time, scientists and scholars are required to build new robust and secure systems to protect information, communication, networks, and cyber-physical systems from potential attacks. However, building cybersecurity systems is not an easy task for several reasons, for example, the complexity of the threats or attacks, the heterogeneity of networks and communications, the increased number of interconnected nodes, and so on.

The necessity of building new and developed information systems, communication networks, and computing architectures, such as wireless networks, cloud/fog computing, mobile computing, blockchain and decentralized ledgers, internet of things, vehicular networks and satellite communication, cyber-physical systems, human–computer interaction systems, cyber logistics and transportation architectures, requires more research and investigations on recent trends and applications of cybersecurity.

This Special Issue invites researchers to contribute both original research articles and reviews that highlight security issues and challenges in recent trends and applications in cybersecurity and provide innovative solutions to overcome such security issues.
