Scope
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Security is a widespread and
growing concern that covers all areas of society:
business, domestic, financial, government, and so on. In
fact, the so-called information society
is increasingly dependent on a wide range of information
systems whose mission is critical, such as air traffic
control systems, financial systems, or public health
systems. The potential losses that are faced by
businesses and organizations that rely on all
these systems, both hardware and software, therefore
signify that it is crucial for information systems to be
properly secured from the outset.
This Special Issue of the
Computers & Security Journal aims to serve as a
forum in which to unite academics, researchers,
practitioners and students in the field of security
engineering
and security software engineering.
