The threat landscape is rapidly evolving, presenting a complex and ever-changing landscape of cybersecurity challenges. We are faced with an expanding attack surface, characterized by a diverse array of attack vectors, a significant imbalance between attackers and defenders, billions of interconnected IoT devices, predominantly reactive detection and mitigation strategies, and the formidable challenge of managing big data.

The stark asymmetry of attacks and the vast volumes of data underscore the urgent need to reevaluate cybersecurity approaches. This requires a proactive approach to reducing the attack surface, making it dynamic, automating detection, risk assessment, and mitigation processes, and exploring emerging technologies like blockchain, artificial intelligence, and machine learning for attack prediction and prevention.

This book, consisting of eleven chapters, delves into diverse cybersecurity issues in emerging technologies. The topics covered include smart connected cars, unmanned ships, 5G/6G connectivity, blockchain, agile incident response, hardware-assisted security, ransomware attacks, hybrid threats, and the cyber skills gap. Thorough theoretical analysis and experimental evaluation of state-of-the-art techniques are presented, fostering a deeper understanding of the future implications of these novel technologies and proposed security solutions and techniques.

This book is designed to benefit a wide range of readers, including graduate and postgraduate students, research scholars, academics, cybersecurity professionals, and business leaders. Its comprehensive coverage and insightful discussions will enlighten both beginners and experienced readers, contributing to the advancement of cybersecurity knowledge and practices in the ever-evolving digital landscape.
