*Scope:*

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced organizations and individuals to 
embrace new practices such as social distancing and remote working. In 
fact, people have increasingly relied on the internet to work, shop and 
stay entertained. However, while the world is focused on the health and 
economic threats posed by COVID-19, cyber criminals are capitalizing on 
this crisis: in just few months, the world became far more digitally 
connected and vulnerable than ever.

The purpose of this book is to disseminate cutting-edge research 
results, highlight research challenges and open issues, and promotes 
further research interest and activities in security and privacy in the 
COVID-19's era.

This book is intended to provide a useful material for academicians, 
researchers, startup companies, students, scholars, executives and 
decision-makers from enterprises, ICT procurement managers and 
healthcare actors. Moreover, the book will provide insights and support 
executives concerned with the management of expertise, knowledge, 
information, and organizational development in different types of work 
communities and environments.

Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

  * Cyber crisis management during a pandemic
  * Privacy issues related to contact tracing from both technical and
    legal perspectives (e.g., GDPR)
  * Privacy-preserving contact tracing applications
  * Recommendations and guidelines for preventing, detecting and
    responding to cyber threats during a pandemic
  * Risks of work from home and mitigation strategies
  * Cybersecurity Risks in a Pandemic
  * Privacy during COVID-19: case studies
  * COVID-19’s impact on healthcare’s security infrastructure
  * Cybersecurity Roles in a Pandemic
  * Law, Investigation, and Ethics in the post COVID-19 era
