This book presents cutting-edge research and advancements in the rapidly evolving fields of cybersecurity, cybercrimes, and smart emerging technologies. It serves as a comprehensive reference guide for the latest trends and challenges in securing our digital world.

It highlights critical themes such as the application of AI and Machine Learning in threat detection and automation, the security implications of blockchain and distributed ledger technologies, safeguarding critical infrastructure and the IoT, addressing data privacy and governance, and advancing malware analysis and detection techniques. It also delves into technological breakthroughs in Deep Learning for fake account detection, blockchain for secure data exchange, DDoS mitigation strategies, and novel approaches to malware analysis. These findings provide valuable insights into current and emerging cyber threats and effective countermeasures.

The contributions within these pages offer valuable insights into a wide spectrum of critical areas:

• AI and Machine Learning in Cybersecurity: Several papers explore the transformative potential of AI and machine learning in enhancing threat detection, automating security processes, and developing more robust defense mechanisms. From Deep Learning for fake account detection and botnet analysis to hybrid approaches for phishing email detection, these studies highlight the crucial role of intelligent systems in combating evolving cyber threats.
• Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technologies: The application of blockchain in securing healthcare systems, enhancing supply chain transparency, and enabling secure data exchange is examined. These contributions shed light on the potential of decentralized technologies to address critical security and privacy challenges.
• Securing Critical Infrastructure and IoT: The vulnerability of critical information systems and IoT environments to cyberattacks is addressed, with papers exploring mitigation strategies for DDoS attacks, securing industrial IoT sensors, and protecting autonomous vehicles.
• Data Privacy and Governance: In an era of increasing data breaches and privacy concerns, several papers focus on data privacy governance, compliance frameworks, and secure data management practices.
• Malware Analysis and Detection: Traditional cybersecurity challenges like malware detection and analysis are revisited with innovative approaches, including ensemble learning models, obfuscated malware detection, and digital watermarking techniques.

We used common Python tools like Scikit and Pandas for data preprocessing and Machine Learning. The data, initially in CSV format, was converted into Python data frames with added labels. Missing values were imputed using row means, ensuring the integrity of the data patterns. After this cleansing process, the data was fed into Machine Learning algorithms with different parameter settings.

This book is an essential resource for researchers, cybersecurity professionals, policymakers, and anyone seeking to understand the complex landscape of cybersecurity in the digital age.
