Introducing the Challenges in Cybersecurity and Privacy: The European Research Landscape

The continuous, rapid and widespread usage of ICT systems, the constrained and large-scale nature of certain related networks such as IoT (Internet of Things), the autonomous nature of upcoming systems, as well as the new cyber-threats appearing from new disruptive technologies, are given rise to new kind of cyberattacks and security issues. In this sense, this book chapter categorises and presents 10 current main cybersecurity and privacy research challenges, as well as 14 European research projects in the scope of cybersecurity and privacy, analysed further throughout this book, that are addressing these challenges.
