INTRODUCTION:
-----------------------
These days cyber security and forensics specialists are supposed to detect, analyze and defend against many cyber threats in almost real-time conditions. Timely dealing with such a huge number of attacks is not possible without employment of artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques. When a significant amount of data is collected from or generated by different security monitoring solutions; intelligent big-data analytical techniques are necessary to mine, interpret and extract knowledge of those data. The emerging field of cyber threat intelligence is investigating applications of artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques to perceive, reason, learn and act intelligently against advanced cyber attacks.

This book will focus on cutting-edge research from both academia and industry, with a particular emphasis on providing wider knowledge of the field, novelty of approaches, combination of tools and so forth to perceive, reason, learn and act on a wide range of data collected from different cyber security and forensics solutions.


TOPICS OF INTEREST:
------------------------------
This book welcomes two categories of papers: (1) invited articles from qualified experts; and (2) contributed papers from open call with list of addressed topics. Topics of interest include but not limited to:

- Detection and analysis of advanced threat actors tactics, techniques and procedures
- Application of machine learning tools and techniques in cyber threat intelligence
- Theories and models for detection and analysis of advanced persistent threats
- Automated and smart tools for collection, preservation and analysis of digital evidences
