“…Consequently, LSTMs have become a cornerstone in deep learning (DL) for effectively categorizing and processing sequential and time-series data, overcoming the limitations associated with discharging and disappearing gradients that plagued earlier RNN models [29]. Tashtouth et al [38] and Al-Eidi et al [39] discussed implementing cybersecurity systems and highlighted the dual nature of technological advancements in cybersecurity, offering insights into both the challenges and opportunities presented by novel attack vectors and defensive mechanisms.…”

As social media platforms continue their exponential growth, so do the threats targeting their security. Detecting disguised spam messages poses an immense challenge owing to the constant evolution of tactics. This research investigates advanced artificial intelligence techniques to significantly enhance multiplatform spam classification on Twitter and YouTube. The deep neural networks we use are state-of-the-art. They are recurrent neural network architectures with long- and short-term memory cells that are powered by both static and contextualized word embeddings. Extensive comparative experiments precede rigorous hyperparameter tuning on the datasets. Results reveal a profound impact of tailored, platform-specific AI techniques in combating sophisticated and perpetually evolving threats. The key innovation lies in tailoring deep learning (DL) architectures to leverage both intrinsic platform contexts and extrinsic contextual embeddings for strengthened generalization. The results include consistent accuracy improvements of more than 10–15% in multisource datasets, unlocking actionable guidelines on optimal components of neural models, and embedding strategies for cross-platform defense systems. Contextualized embeddings like BERT and ELMo consistently outperform their noncontextualized counterparts. The standalone ELMo model with logistic regression emerges as the top performer, attaining exceptional accuracy scores of 90% on Twitter and 94% on YouTube data. This signifies the immense potential of contextualized language representations in capturing subtle semantic signals vital for identifying disguised spam. As emerging adversarial attacks exploit human vulnerabilities, advancing defense strategies through enhanced neural language understanding is imperative. We recommend that social media companies and academic researchers build on contextualized language models to strengthen social media security. This research approach demonstrates the immense potential of personalized, platform-specific DL techniques to combat the continuously evolving threats that threaten social media security.

In this modern age, Internet of Things (IoT) and Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) as its derivatives have become one of the most popular and important technological advancements. In IoT, all things and services in the real world are digitalized and it continues to grow exponentially every year. This growth in number of IoT device in the end has created a tremendous amount of data and new data services such as big data systems. These new technologies can be managed to produce additional value to the existing business model. It also can provide a forecasting service and is capable to produce decision-making support using computational intelligence methods. In this survey paper, we provide detailed research activities concerning Computational Intelligence methods application in IoT WSN. To build a good understanding, in this paper we also present various challenges and issues for Computational Intelligence in IoT WSN. In the last presentation, we discuss the future direction of Computational Intelligence applications in IoT WSN such as Self-Organizing Network (dynamic network) concept.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to challenge the prevailing, stereotypical approach of the human aspect of cybersecurity, i.e. treating people as weakness or threat. Instead, several reflections are presented, pertaining to the ways of making cybersecurity human-centred. Design/methodology/approach This paper bases on the authors’ own experiences, gathered whilst working in cybersecurity projects; the resulting comments and reflections have been enriched and backed up by the results of a targeted literature study. Findings The findings show that the way the human aspects of cybersecurity are understood is changing, and deviates from the stereotypical approach. Practical implications This paper provides a number of practical recommendations for policymakers, as well as cybersecurity managers on how to make the cybersecurity more human-centred; it also inspires further research directions. Originality/value This paper presents a fresh, positive approach to humans in cybersecurity and opens the doors to further discourse about new paradigms in the field.
