Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues, 

The hyper-connected computing environment connects the real world and the virtual world to create a new convergence space called the cyber-physical space (CPS). In the cyber-physical space, innovative and new value ​​that has never been seen before can be created. New values ​​come in the form of converged product and service, such as connected cars, smart factories, and personalized healthcare. Together with innovative values, cyber-physical spaces face various types of security risks. For individuals or organizations to continue to grow, they must proactively respond to the complex risks that may arise in new spaces.

This Special Issue discusses security management and services to minimize risks that may occur in future cyber-physics space. Ultimately, the Issue provide the best security strategies for stable growth in the upcoming 4th industrial revolution era. 

Topics of primary interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Security management and system issues in the cyber-physical space (CPS)
  • Security policy and design in CPS
  • Security management system in CPS
  • Security behavior modelling and anlaytics in CPS
  • Security awareness, education, and culture in CPS
  • Security assement and evaluation in CPS
  • Security investment and economics in CPS
  • Security system and service (device/nework/DB security) in CPS
  • Industrial security case studies in CPS

North Korea’s economic and technological backwardness does not seem to allow Pyongyang to possess proficient cyberwarfare capabilities. Yet, North Korea’s cyber offensive capabilities are a major security threat in a new convergence space called the cyber–physical space (CPS) that connects the real world and the virtual world. How has North Korea become a formidable actor in the CPS, despite economic and technological disadvantages? Put differently, what makes North Korea a global cyber power despite its disconnect from international society? What are North Korea’s motivations behind strengthening its cyber capabilities in recent decades and what implications do these hold for international security? The primary objective of this article is to examine North Korea’s motivations for strengthening its cyber capabilities and analyze their implications for the sustainability of stability and peace on the Korean peninsula and beyond. By investigating the exemplary cases of North Korea’s recent cyberattacks, it seeks to explore the effective ways to manage the risks that North Korea’s enhanced cyber proficiencies pose in the current and future CPS.
