Cybersecurity and Secure Information Systems

This book provides a concise overview of the current state of the art in cybersecurity and shares novel and exciting ideas and techniques, along with specific cases demonstrating their practical application. It gathers contributions by both academic and industrial researchers, covering all aspects of cybersecurity and addressing issues in secure information systems as well as other emerging areas.

The content comprises high-quality research articles and reviews that promote a multidisciplinary approach and reflect the latest advances, challenges, requirements and methodologies. Thus, the book investigates e.g. security vulnerabilities, cybercrime, and privacy issues related to big data analysis, as well as advances in digital forensics, secure smart city services, and risk mitigation strategies for devices employing cyber-physical systems.

Given its scope, the book offers a valuable resource for students, researchers, IT professionals and providers, citizens, consumers and policymakers involved or interested in the modern security procedures needed to protect our information and communication resources. Its goal is to foster a community committed to further research and education, and one that can also translate its findings into concrete practices.
