Security and Provisioning in Cyber-Enabled Niche Critical
Infrastructure</span> </h3>
</div>
The core objective of this Special Issue (SI) is to address
developing technical, socio-technical, and public policy security
and management matters and issues, which are specifically relevant
to niche CI (i.e., less explored and/or newly arising). Niche CI
resemble unique technological setups coupled with very specific
deployment scenarios and related modus operandi, posing novel, and
intriguing security and provisioning challenges. This SI focuses
on niche CI, which have been rarely investigated, especially from
the empirical perspectives. Given that the nature of CI-relevant
research work/issues are not only purely technical, but this also
overarches to problems and effects on socio-technical IoT aspects
(e.g., human-in-the-loop, cyber-kinetic operations,
attacker-system interactions, etc.) and public policy matters
(e.g., risk management, data curation, acts, workforce strategies,
surveillance, etc.).</div>
