Advanced Cybersecurity Services Design

Cybersecurity technologies have been researched extensively in the last few years in order to face the current threat landscape, which has shown a continuous growth in the quality and quantity of attacks that are oriented toward any potentially vulnerable items (people, software, firmware, hardware, etc.). Thus, there is a need for more sophisticated cybersecurity services that are able to combine different technologies to cover all the different aspects that such attacks may utilize.This Special Issue includes 14 contributions that cover these areas. It includes two review contributions: provides a survey with an overview of the state of the art in detecting and projecting cyberattack scenarios, i.e., approaches that automate the analysis of alerts to detect large-scale attacks and predict the attacker’s next steps, with a focus on evaluation and the corresponding metrics. On the other hand, Ref.  reviews a specific application area, namely the identification and discussion of the relation between the safety of Autonomous Haulage Systems in the mining environment and both cybersecurity and communication; furthermore, the article highlights their challenges and open issues.
