Proceedings of the International Conference on Cybersecurity, Situational Awareness and Social Media Cyber Science 2024; 27–28 June; Edinburgh Napier University, Scotland

This book presents peer-reviewed articles from Cyber Science 2024, held on 27–28 June at Edinburgh Napier University in Scotland. With no competing conferences in this unique and specialized area (cyber science), especially focusing on the application of situation awareness to cyber security (CS), artificial intelligence, blockchain technologies, cyber physical systems (CPS), social media and cyber incident response, it presents a fusion of these unique and multidisciplinary areas into one that serves a wider audience making this conference a sought-after event. Hence, this proceedings offers a cutting edge and fast reaching forum for organizations to learn, network, and promote their services. Also, it offers professionals, students, and practitioners a platform to learn new and emerging disciplines.
