The cyberspace and its global infrastructures are essential for our civilizations, the economy and administration. However, cyberspace is also increasingly developing into an intelligence and military operational area, visible in the creation of military cyber departments and the integration of cyberspace into states' security and defense strategies. Unfortunately, many of the established toolset of transparency, de-escalation and arms control measures do not work for cyberspace due to its specific technical characteristics. But how de-escalation of state-led conflicts in cyberspace can be achieved and how arms control of cyber weapons can be developed? Based on a technical perspective with regard to the underlying political challenges, the book follows an approach of adopting already existing technical measures from other fields of the computer science. It presents a classification system for cyberweapons, an approach for the mutual reduction of vulnerability stockpiles and provides an approach to prove the non-involvement in a cyber conflict. Beyond this, it aims to provide some impulses regarding the responsibility and creative options of the computer science with a view to the peaceful development and use of cyberspace.

Like many sectors, agriculture is experiencing a continuous digitalization, i.e. an increase in data-driven technologies used. In contrast to companies of other critical infrastructures, a typical farm is comparatively small and often runs as a family business. Accordingly, the demands on farming technology, its implementation, and regulations are different in many terms. Currently, a promising technological trend of agriculture is smart farming, that incorporates more precise cultivation with less manual effort. But such new developments usually lack an assessment about its impact on the sector's resilience and dependencies on other infrastructures. It remains unclear, how digitalization impacts the resilience of food production and food safety. Therefore, it is not well researched which technological developments may lead to undesired effects in the future. How modern systems should be designed to allow for both, positive impacts on efficiency, and prevention of negative effects interms of reduced resilience capacities, is also not answered by current literature. The aim of the work is to close this research gap in the interplay between agriculture, digitalization, and resilience.

The COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine emphasize the need for greater disaster resilience and preparedness. This book investigates how these apps can enhance crisis awareness and citizen involvement in disaster prevention and response. By examining user perspectives and the impact of crisis experiences, the book explores how to increase the adoption and effectiveness of warning apps. The research uses qualitative and quantitative methods, including surveys and design interventions, to reveal current usage, changes over time and desired features. It shows that while citizens find warning apps helpful, more safety-related features and two-way communication could increase their appeal. Additionally, the integration of preparedness features into these apps can increase their perceived usefulness, though challenges remain in addressing user expectations and design preferences across different crises and cultural contexts.

Users face many situations in which they have to disclose their data to others. In many cases, they are not properly informed about the usage of their data or the consequences of data disclosure. This book investigates how users can be supported by researching three core aspects: Firstly, problems and risks that lead to (unintended) data disclosure or arise from it have to be identified. Secondly, measures are investigated that developers can apply to mitigate these risks and meet the needs of the users. Finally, the developed solutions have to be adopted into practice. Strategies to bring security- and privacy-enhancing technologies to use are essential because a tool that is not used cannot protect anyone.The investigated scenarios are twofold: Firstly, business-to-business (B2B) collaborations, especially highlighting the perspective of owners of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) who are forced to provide data for business processes. Secondly, scenarios of everyday usage for private users that require the disclosure of data are investigated.

Informed navigation of misinformation on social media constitutes a major challenge. The field of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) suggests digital misinformation interventions as user-centered countermeasures. This book clusters (1) existing misinformation interventions within a taxonomy encompassing designs, interaction types, and timings. The book demonstrates that current research mostly addresses higher-educated participants, and targets Twitter/X and Facebook. It highlights trends toward comprehensible interventions in contrast to top-down approaches. The findings informed (2) the design, implementation, and evaluation of simulated apps for TikTok, voice messages, and Twitter/X as indicator-based interventions. Therefore, (3) the book identified misinformation indicators for various modalities that were perceived as comprehensible.The book empirically demonstrates that (4) indicator-based interventions are positively received due to their transparency. However, they also come with challenges, such as users' blind trust and lack of realistic assessments of biases. This research outlines chances and implications for future research.

In today's fast-paced cybersecurity landscape, professionals are increasingly challenged by the vast volumes of cyber threat data, making it difficult to identify and mitigate threats effectively. Traditional clustering methods help in broadly categorizing threats but fall short when it comes to the fine-grained analysis necessary for precise threat management. Supervised machine learning offers a potential solution, but the rapidly changing nature of cyber threats renders static models ineffective and the creation of new models too labor-intensive. This book addresses these challenges by introducing innovative low-data regime methods that enhance the machine learning process with minimal labeled data. The proposed approach spans four key stages:Data Acquisition: Leveraging active learning with advanced models like GPT-4 to optimize data labeling.Preprocessing: Utilizing GPT-2 and GPT-3 for data augmentation to enrich and diversify datasets.Model Selection: Developing a specialized cybersecurity language model and using multi-level transfer learning.Prediction: Introducing a novel adversarial example generation method, grounded in explainable AI, to improve model accuracy and resilience.

This book explores innovative methods to enhance cybersecurity by leveraging official and unofficial information sources on the web. While traditional approaches like Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) and Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) rely on past breaches, this work emphasizes a proactive stance, utilizing Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) to predict and prepare for emerging threats. Drawing from crisis informatics and data mining, the research introduces automated approaches for collecting, enriching, and analyzing cybersecurity information across diverse web sources, providing security teams with tools to identify emerging threats while reducing manual workload. For security professionals and researchers, this work demonstrates how automation can enhance human expertise in cybersecurity, paving the way for more robust and proactive threat detection.

In times of crisis, individuals spontaneously engage in various forms of self-organization, whether within their neighborhoods, by volunteering, or alongside professional responders. Technology is established in crisis volunteering and management, with people using tools to collaborate, such as social media or integrating new software for disaster response, exemplified by COVID tracing apps. However, this dependence on technology hinders reliable digital actions because of common disruptions or overload of information and communication technology (ICT) infrastructure during crises. This book addresses digitized crisis handling of individuals regarding resilience, usability, and social integration by supporting decentralized concepts of connectivity. It explains why neighborhoods are important as a cell of self-organization, how to integrate public warnings in smart homes to create an environment of resilience locally, and how volunteering encapsulates digital actions. As people are vulnerable in a crisis and have limited mental capacities, it is not only about the resilience of used tools but also having a human-centered perspective on technology by ensuring usability and acceptance through integrity, integrating social structures, and trust. Findings show that decentralized communication protocols can uphold collaboration during disruptions and have advantages within the scope of neighborhoods, which match both technical dependencies of protocols like disruption-tolerant network (DTN) and established social behavior of digital self-organization in crisis.
