This book addresses the key security challenges in the big data centric computing and network systems, and discusses how to tackle them using a mix of conventional and state-of-the-art techniques. The incentive for joining big data and advanced analytics is no longer in doubt for businesses and ordinary users alike. Technology giants like Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Facebook, Apple, and companies like Uber, Airbnb, NVIDIA, Expedia, and so forth are continuing to explore new ways to collect and analyze big data to provide their customers with interactive services and new experiences. With any discussion of big data, security is not, however, far behind. Large scale data breaches and privacy leaks at governmental and financial institutions, social platforms, power grids, and so forth, are on the rise that cost billions of dollars. The book explains how the security needs and implementations are inherently different at different stages of the big data centric system, namely at the point of big data sensing and collection, delivery over existing networks, and analytics at the data centers. Thus, the book sheds light on how conventional security provisioning techniques like authentication and encryption need to scale well with all the stages of the big data centric system to effectively combat security threats and vulnerabilities. The book also uncovers the state-of-the-art technologies like deep learning and blockchain which can dramatically change the security landscape in the big data era.

This contributed volume provides the state-of-the-art development on security and privacy for cyber-physical systems (CPS) and industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). More specifically, this book discusses the security challenges in CPS and IIoT systems as well as how Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) can be used to address these challenges. Furthermore, this book proposes various defence strategies, including intelligent cyber-attack and anomaly detection algorithms for different IIoT applications. Each chapter corresponds to an important snapshot including an overview of the opportunities and challenges of realizing the AI in IIoT environments, issues related to data security, privacy and application of blockchain technology in the IIoT environment. This book also examines more advanced and specific topics in AI-based solutions developed for efficient anomaly detection in IIoT environments. Different AI/ML techniques including deep representation learning, Snapshot Ensemble Deep Neural Network (SEDNN), federated learning and multi-stage learning are discussed and analysed as well. Researchers and professionals working in computer security with an emphasis on the scientific foundations and engineering techniques for securing IIoT systems and their underlying computing and communicating systems will find this book useful as a reference. The content of this book will be particularly useful for advanced-level students studying computer science, computer technology, cyber security, and information systems. It also applies to advanced-level students studying electrical engineering and system engineering, who would benefit from the case studies.

In recent years, interest and progress in the area of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) have boomed, with new applications vigorously pursued across many sectors. At the same time, the computing and communications technologies on which we have come to rely present serious security concerns: cyberattacks have escalated in number, frequency, and impact, drawing increased attention to the vulnerabilities of cyber systems and the need to increase their security. In the face of this changing landscape, there is significant concern and interest among policymakers, security practitioners, technologists, researchers, and the public about the potential implications of AI and ML for cybersecurity. The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine convened a workshop on March 12-13, 2019 to discuss and explore these concerns. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.
