ESPR-IoTBD 2020 : Special Issue on Enterprise Security, Privacy and Risk for Internet of Things and Big Data

Enterprise Security, Privacy, and Risk (ESPR) is the key to achieving global information security in business and organizations. The Internet of Things and Big Data (IoTBD) provide a new paradigm for enterprise, necessitating special attention to securing businesses. However, this new trend needs to be more systematically assessed with respect to ESPR, which is a factor in sustaining cloud technology by building-in trust. For example, current challenges with cyber security and application security flaws are highlighting important lessons that, once learned, will thereby lead to the adoption of best practices. Similarly, as the demand for IoTBD services increases, the importance of security, privacy, and risk is always growing. We survey the importance of ESPR as a unique and rising field to ensure all aspects of both security and risks can be identified, surveyed, tested, prototyped, and minimized with recommendations and lessons learned and disseminated. The scope of ESPR has expanded into risk management/analysis, the management of future technologies such as the Internet of Things and Big Data, and modern ethical hacking methods in many disciplines such as finance, healthcare, government, education, etc. We need to provide a robust and enhanced level of security. As a result, we seek high quality papers demonstrating proofs-of-concept, prototype, and successful implementation for IoTBD in ESPR.
