Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are setting up the Special Issue on “Cyber Security and Digital Forensics—2nd Edition” in the Journal of Cybersecurity and Privacy, which aims to attract original, pertinent, and innovative contributions on a wide set of topics related to cybersecurity, information security, and digital forensics. Information security and cybersecurity play a key role in the management of organizations in general, as they deal with the confidentiality, privacy, integrity, and availability of one of their most valuable resources: data and information. When a cyberattack takes place in the enterprise information system, the analysis and collection of digital artifacts is crucial to understand the origins, motivations, and impact of the malicious activities. To deal with the amount of assets being protected and their high variety and heterogeneity, organizations have adopted a wide set of techniques, tools, and methodologies to implement cybersecurity and digital forensics processes. The quality of these techniques and tools may dictate the speed and efficiency of the security of the assets, the improvement of availability of IT infrastructure, and, consequently, business continuity. The Special Issue “Cyber Security and Digital Forensics—2nd Edition” welcomes articles (reviews, communications, original studies, technical reports, and case reports) that focus on the various topics that are under the cybersecurity and digital forensic umbrella.
