Over the past few years, network security attacks have become more
easy-to-use, stealth, sophisticated, and powerful with techniques to bypass,
subvert and even target today's security defences such as firewalls,
intrusion detection/prevention systems, and antivirus software. A plethora
of research has been devoted into designing and devising more effective,
intelligent, adaptive and active defence systems and mechanisms. This
special issue strives to foster state-of-the-art research pertaining to
recent advances in the area of security attacks and defences related to
computer networks. The issue focuses on bringing forth recent and novel
research work geared towards identifying and detecting today's security
attacks, and designing best defences and countermeasures to achieve more
secure networks, protocols, systems, and applications.
