This book discusses in a practical manner some of the critical security challenges facing the ever-evolving networking technologies of today. In an age of explosive worldwide growth of electronic data storage and communications, effective protection of information has become a critical requirement, especially when used in coordination with other tools for information security and cryptography in all of its applications, including data confidentiality, data integrity, and user authentication. While the importance of cryptographic technique, i.e., encryption, in protecting sensitive and critical information and resources cannot be overemphasized, an examination of the technical evolution within several industries reveals an approaching precipice of scientific change. This book discusses some of the critical security challenges facing the ever-evolving networking technologies of today. Chapter 1, 5G Technologies, Architecture and Protocols, presents the main elements in 5G core networks, security in 5G mobile networks, 5G radio access technology, frame structure, network virtualization, and slicing in 5G, which are the key areas of study in 5G technology. Chapter 2, Scope and Challenges of IoT and Blockchain Integration, focuses on the pros and cons of the integration of both the technology and existing platforms that are based on the alliance of IoT and blockchain platforms like Ethereum, Hyperledger, Lisk, and Slock.it, which are also explained along with their full functionality.

The cloud is busy transforming the world of information technology and accelerating business innovation, but analysts estimate that only 20% of enterprise workloads are currently located in the cloud. The unavailability of mission-critical, cloud-based applications for financial transactions, traffic control coordination, and emergency response can have serious consequences. Cloud adoption has been increasingly important for organizations, as it gives them access to a comprehensive catalog of on-demand and scalable services, platforms, and infrastructures without having to invest in hardware and software. The cloud offers many advantages to help accelerate time to value and innovate in a more flexible, agile, and efficient way (which, in turn, helps reduce costs, increase operational efficiency, and enable businesses to respond quickly to changing market conditions). Cloud providers like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and Microsoft Azure are revolutionizing this adoption.

Organizations of all sizes struggle to secure their data in a constantly evolving digital landscape. Expanding digital footprints and the rapid expansion of cloud strategies arising from the COVID-19 pandemic increase an organization’s attack surface. When combined with limited resources caused by the cybersecurity skills gap, securing small and mid-sized business IT infrastructures becomes more complicated. With limited staffing and budgetary restrictions, small businesses need to create cost-effective, security-driven programs that protect data while also meeting increasingly stringent compliance requirements. This book bridges the gap between complex technical language and business objectives to create a security-first review of the security and compliance landscapes. Looking at security and privacy through the lens of zero trust, this overview of regulations and industry standards provides both background about and implications drawn from modern security practices. Rather than focusing solely on individual cybersecurity frameworks, this book offers insights into best practices based on the commonalities between regulations and industry standards, highlighting some of the primary differences to show the nuances.

This book provides theoretical background and state-of-the-art findings in Artificial Intelligence and cybersecurity for Industry 4.0 and helps in implementing AI-based cybersecurity applications. Machine Learning-based security approaches are vulnerable to poison datasets which can be caused by a legitimate defender's misclassification or attackers aiming to evade detection by contaminating the training data set. There also exist gaps between the test environment and the real world. Therefore, it is critical to check the potentials and limitations of AI-based security technologies in terms of metrics such as security, performance, cost, time, and consider how to incorporate them into the real world by addressing the gaps appropriately. This book focuses on state-of-the-art findings from both academia and industry in Big Data security relevant sciences, technologies, and applications.

Smart grid technologies include sensing and measurement technologies, advanced components aided with communications and control methods along with improved interfaces and decision support systems. Smart grid techniques support the extensive inclusion of clean renewable generation in power systems. Smart grid use also promotes energy saving in power systems. Cyber security objectives for the smart grid are availability, integrity and confidentiality. Nowadays we get to see the rapid expansion of technologies with the influence of Internet of Things (IoT) and Smart Grid (SG). So, whatever IoT devices we are using with some sort of protocols and parameters, we should be able to manage and know the measures and estimation of power consumption, interoperability, price forecasting, etc.

This book offers a structured overview and a comprehensive guide to the emerging field of Autonomous Intelligent Cyber Defense Agents (AICA). The book discusses the current technical issues in autonomous cyber defense and offers information on practical design approaches. The material is presented in a way that is accessible to non-specialists, with tutorial information provided in the initial chapters and as needed throughout the book. The reader is provided with clear and comprehensive background and reference material for each aspect of AICA. This book is based on the premise that the future of cyber-defense and cyber resilience will depend largely on autonomous, Artificially Intelligent (AI) agents. Such an agent will reside on a system that includes one or more computing devices and be responsible for defending the system from cyber compromises. If a compromise occurs, the agent will then be responsible for response and recovery of the system, usually autonomously. To refer to such a class of agents, we use the term Autonomous Intelligent Cyber-defense Agent (AICA). In this book, we explore how AICA will be designed and how it will operate.
