Topic: Information and Communication Systems Security

The rapid adoption of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has brought opportunities for innovation, efficiency, and connectivity. However, this swift development has also introduced significant security challenges. The fast pace of technological change often outstrips the ability of society and system operators to keep up, leading to inevitable security issues. As organizations and infrastructures increasingly depend on ICT, the potential risks associated with cyber threats have grown exponentially. Concerns have risen about the adequacy of secure and resilient procedures, as well as the extent to which information security and user privacy can be guaranteed.

The Special Issue on “Information and Communication Systems Security” aims to provide an international forum for researchers and practitioners to exchange information on the latest advancements in security, privacy, and resilience within ICT. This issue covers a wide range of topics, including network security, secure software development, and risk management, among others.
