• Rashmi Sahay, The ICFAI Foundation for Higher Education, Hyderabad, India
• Rajesh Shrivastava, Bennett University, India
• Sanket Mishra, VITAP University, India

SCOPE AND MOTIVATION

Attacks in modern cyber infrastructures like the Internet of Things, Cloud computing, and Smart Grid have raised questions on the prevalent cyber defense mechanisms. It is important to analyze various threats and vulnerabilities associated with these large-scale infrastructures. On the one hand, with advancements in the field of AI and Big data, the scope for the adaption of intelligent methods in cyber security has gained wide attention. On the other hand, attacks against intelligent mechanisms have also been reported in recent times. The challenge is to design frameworks that make learning fast and dynamic and efficiently predict the IoT network's state. Cloud platforms can provision authentication, enforce security mechanisms, and support security analytics of large-scale IoT networks. Fog computing platforms will help reduce the latency of data and security analysis. However, when cloud/fog-based security solutions are implemented in IoT networks, the inherent vulnerabilities of IoT networks make such security mechanisms highly vulnerable to attacks as well.
