revolutionized the communication architecture, providing connectivity for
people, things, data, applications, transport, and cities in smart networked
environments, at faster data rates, reduced latencies, and acceptable costs.
The massive number and volume of heterogonous connected devices in such an open
space, as well as the advancements in human computer interaction (HCI), artificial
intelligence (AI), computing and communication technologies have led to an increasing
number of personal and ubiquitous intelligent systems. Such a wide deployment
of connected smart technologies introduces new challenges to system security
and privacy, mainly for Cyber-physical Systems.</span></p>

and computing domains as seen in many different areas such as medical,
automotive, energy and other critical systems. Nowadays, cyberphysical systems are
highly prone to cyber attacks and other forms of security threats at the communication
layer due to system high connectivity characteristics. Some of today’s emerging
security threats are hard to detect using traditional security and privacy
measures and techniques. Therefore, innovative security methods and privacy
protection solutions are needed to provide more secure and robust
privacy-preserving intelligent cyber-physical systems. To achieve this, <b>cybersecurity
management systems </b>need to adapt to the changing cyber security threats
autonomously with minimal user intervention to provide maximum protection
against cyber attacks, intrusions, malware and various types of data breaches. AI
has the potential to be leveraged in different aspects of cybersecurity and cyberthreat
detection. It has received significant interest lately, where a plethora of AI
and other intelligent learning solutions such as deep and reinforcement
learning are now being integrated into cybersecurity systems to provide more
secure and robust privacy-preserving solutions for personal and ubiquitous
systems. Such integration will play a vital role in providing enhanced security
for intelligent autonomous systems and enables organizations to make crucial
changes to their security landscape.</span></p>
