Emerging Threats and Countermeasures in Cybersecurity

Preface

In the contemporary era, the frontlines of security have transcended the physical to embrace the digital domain. This shift underscores the veracity of the prediction that the next World War will be fought through circuits and algorithms. The rapid advent and integration of smart technologies, ranging from remote computing and the Internet of Things (IoT) to artificial intelligence, are fundamentally reshaping urban environments into interconnected smart cities. These innovations offer immense potential to enhance the quality of life through real-time data exchanges and seamless connectivity. However, they expose significant vulnerabilities that cybercriminals and privacy breaches can exploit. In response to these growing challenges, the field of digital forensics has evolved, encompassing diverse domains such as cloud forensics and social media investigations.

This edited book, Emerging Threats and Countermeasures in Cybersecurity brings together an array of research and insights from leading experts in the field. The comprehensive chapters explore the multifaceted landscape of digital forensics and cybersecurity, addressing the latest threats, methodologies, and technologies used to safeguard our digital frontiers.

The first chapter, Towards Reliable Image Forensics: Deep Learning Based Forgery Detection, delves into techniques for determining the authenticity of images, a critical aspect of combating fake news and digital misinformation. Leveraging machine learning ...
