As society has become increasingly dependent on communications and networks, being an integral part of most digital systems, cybersecurity has become utmost important. While there have been many improvements, for instance within standardization and adaptation of secure network protocols, there are still many challenges to be solved within the heterogeneous and wide range of current communication systems. In addition, new technology and an evolving threat landscape pose additional challenges.      

This Series covers recent advances in cybersecurity, bringing together industrial and academic research and developments. The Series emphasizes novel but practical solutions and insights of interest to industry, academia and governments. Topics of interest include cybersecurity aspects of networks and communications including, but not limited to, the following:

• Critical infrastructure security
• Mobile and wireless communications security
• Network protocol security
• Cyber attack prevention, detection, and response
• Resiliency and availability in communications
• Security in industrial and cyber physical systems networks/communications
• Network security monitoring and traffic analysis
• Network and communications privacy
• Machine learning and AI for cybersecurity
• Measurements of cyber security in networks and communications 
• Cyber threats
