Vol. 2 No. 1 (2025): Innovating at Scale: Driving Automation and Intelligence in the Cyber Security and Forensics Landscape.

This second volume marks a strategic evolution from bridging the gap between theory and practice toward accelerating innovation through the integration of automation and artificial intelligence. Under the theme "Innovating at Scale: Driving Automation and Intelligence in the Cyber Security and Forensics Landscape," this edition highlights the urgent need for systems capable of dynamically adapting to increasingly massive and complex cyber threats. The primary focus of this volume is to explore how intelligent technologies, such as Machine Learning and Deep Learning, can be implemented to fortify proactive defenses and expedite digital investigation processes without compromising the integrity of evidence.

Beyond technical advancements, this volume delves into the challenges of scalability within modern infrastructures, such as cloud computing and IoT ecosystems, where conventional investigative methods are reaching their operational limits. We present a collection of research that not only offers operational efficiency through automation but also dissects the ethical and legal implications of utilizing algorithms within forensic science. By unifying perspectives from both academia and industry practitioners, Volume 2 aims to formulate new standards for creating a resilient and intelligent digital ecosystem prepared to meet the global security challenges of the future.
