Intelligent Systems refer to software systems that exhibit behaviors perceived as intelligent and capable of performing tasks typically requiring human intelligence. These systems leverage artificial intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) techniques to autonomously make decisions, solve problems, learn from experiences, and adapt to new situations.

Intelligent Systems are increasingly applied in Information Security to enhance the detection, prevention, and response to various cyber threats. Intelligent Systems can analyze vast amounts of data in real-time to identify patterns and anomalies that might indicate security breaches, malware, and other threats. When a security threat is detected, intelligent systems can automatically take actions such as isolating affected systems, blocking malicious IP addresses, or initiating incident response protocols. Intelligent systems also track and analyze user behavior to detect insider threats or compromised accounts based on deviations from normal activity patterns.

This Special Issue, “Intelligent Systems and Information Security”, welcomes submissions of recent and original research work on this promising application area. The call is open to a broad thematic range of papers covering recent applications of AI and ML to intrusion detection and prevention, threat intelligence and incident response, OPSEC, secure software development, etc.

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

• Cloud and network security
• Endpoint security
• IoT security
• Critical Infrastructures security
• Mobile/wireless/5G security
• Biometric techniques
• Intrusion detection and prevention
• Operating system and application fingerprinting
• Risk assessment and risk management
• Vulnerability classification and management
• Threat intelligence
• Side-channel attacks
• Automated incident response
• User behavior analytics
• Fraud detection
• Digital forensics
• Security operations
• IT auditing and ethical hacking
• Software development security, including (web) applications, operating systems, and fuzz-testing
• Secure voting

The submission deadline for this Special Issue is 20 March 2025.
