The Fusion of Artificial Intelligence and Soft Computing Techniques for Cybersecurity

With the ever-increasing threat of cyber-attacks, especially as the COVID-19 pandemic helped to ramp up the use of digital communications technology, there is a continued need to find new ways to maintain and improve cybersecurity. This new volume investigates the advances in artificial intelligence and soft computing techniques in cybersecurity. It specifically looks at cybersecurity during the COVID-19 pandemic, the use of cybersecurity for cloud intelligent systems, applications of cybersecurity techniques for web applications, and cybersecurity for cyber-physical systems. A diverse array of technologies and techniques are explored for cybersecurity applications, such as the Internet of Things, edge computing, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, soft computing, machine learning, cross-site scripting in web-based services, neural gas (GNG) clustering technique, and more.
