Cybersecurity: Past, Present and Future
The digital transformation has created a new digital space known as
cyberspace. This new cyberspace has improved the workings of businesses,
organizations, governments, society as a whole, and day to day life of an
individual. With these improvements come new challenges, and one of the main
challenges is security. The security of the new cyberspace is called
cybersecurity. Cyberspace has created new technologies and environments such as
cloud computing, smart devices, IoTs, and several others. To keep pace with
these advancements in cyber technologies there is a need to expand research and
develop new cybersecurity methods and tools to secure these domains and
environments. This book is an effort to introduce the reader to the field of
cybersecurity, highlight current issues and challenges, and provide future
directions to mitigate or resolve them. The main specializations of
cybersecurity covered in this book are software security, hardware security,
the evolution of malware, biometrics, cyber intelligence, and cyber forensics.
We must learn from the past, evolve our present and improve the future. Based
on this objective, the book covers the past, present, and future of these main
specializations of cybersecurity. The book also examines the upcoming areas of
research in cyber intelligence, such as hybrid augmented and explainable
artificial intelligence (AI). Human and AI collaboration can significantly
increase the performance of a cybersecurity system. Interpreting and explaining
machine learning models, i.e., explainable AI is an emerging field of study and
has a lot of potentials to improve the role of AI in cybersecurity.Comment: Author's copy of the book published under ISBN: 978-620-4-74421-
