Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In today's rapidly evolving technological landscape, the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and cybersecurity has become increasingly critical. These technologies are transforming various sectors, including healthcare, financial markets, government, industrial automation, smart cities, and local organizations, enabling seamless data collection, analysis, and decision-making. However, this interconnectedness also introduces sophisticated cybersecurity threats that pose significant risks to data integrity, privacy, and system reliability.
This Special Issue will gather pioneering research, innovative solutions, and practical insights from experts in the fields of AI, IoT security, and cybersecurity. We invite authors to submit their original research papers, review articles, case studies, and experimental studies that address, but do not only cover, the following topics:
- Cybersecurity in AI-driven applications;
- Threat modeling and risk assessment in IoT systems;
- Secure communication protocols for AI and IoT systems;
- Intrusion detection and response mechanisms in IoT networks;
- Machine learning and AI approaches for enhancing cybersecurity;
- Privacy and data protection in AI and IoT applications;
- Secure key management and authentication schemes for IoT;
- Blockchain technology for securing IoT and AI applications;
- Cybersecurity challenges in financial markets;
- Security strategies for government and local organizations;
- Emerging trends and future directions in AI, IoT, and cybersecurity.
