Digital Twins are seen as one of the emerging technologies. In recent
years, the conceptualization, development, and implementation of digital
twins in different domains is clearly evident. There will be more and more
connected devices in use around the world with the evolution of
technologies like the Internet of Things. Furthermore, with the emergence
of remote access, operators and critical systems are increasingly connected
using remote connectivity. At the same time, there is an increased rate of
cyber-attacks. These are reasons why cyber security is critically important
to contemporary society as these factors make critical infrastructures even
more susceptible to cyber-attacks. However, in order to make critical
infrastructures cyber-resilient, performing cyber security
testing/exercises on real-world systems is impractical. Digital twins in
different domains provide the capability to be used for a wide range of
cybersecurity tests. On the other hand, digital twins are susceptible to
different types of cyber threats that could lead to negative consequences.

This special issue aims to gather high-quality empirical, experimental, and
theoretical research reporting original and unpublished results. Topics of
interest for this special issue include, but are not limited to:

•Methods and techniques in the development of digital twins for cyber
security

• Artificial intelligence and machine learning approaches for digital twins

• Enabling technologies for digital twins

• Digital twins for security testing

• Use of digital twins in the security operations center

• Cyber situational awareness through digital twins

• Digital twins for attack prediction

• Digital twins in cyber risk management

• Digital twin-based anomaly detection

• Digital twins for decision making in cyber security

• Incident response using digital twins

• Cyber security training/education via digital twins

• Secure data management in digital twins

• Human digital twin for cyber security

• Cyber security threats in adopting digital twins

• Security issues in Condition Monitoring, diagnostics, and prognosis in
digital twins

•Novel solutions for securing critical components with digital twins.

Submitted papers should present original, unpublished work, relevant to one
of the topics of the Special Issue. All submitted papers will be evaluated
on the basis of relevance, significance of contribution, technical quality,
scholarship, and quality of presentation, by at least two independent
reviewers. It is the policy of the journal that no submission, or
substantially overlapping submission, be published or be under review at
another journal or conference at any time during the review process.
