Dear Colleagues,

The rapid growth of cyber attacks and information leaks pose a huge challenge for cyber security. Many researchers have aimed to utilize the latest techniques for automatically analyzing big data to enable effective defense against emerging threats. Numerous advanced methods, such as natural language processing, information theory, and artificial intelligence techniques, have been widely used in special areas. However, when facing the rapidly evolving technique and new situations, there are still a lot of unsolved issues, such as network attack detection, threat intelligence extraction, malware classification, and attack attribution.

Therefore, this Special Issue aims to explore new approaches and perspectives on data-driven cybersecurity and privacy analysis topics. This Special Issue will focus on (but is not limited to) the following topics:

• Network attack intelligence detection;
• Cyberthreat intelligence extraction;
• System or mobile malware analysis and classification;
• Network malicious traffic detection and analysis;
• System or network attack attribution;
• Vulnerability mining and analysis;
• Privacy data leak detection and classification;
• Social network intelligence analysis.
