The field of cybersecurity and safety is rapidly evolving to address the growing concerns of security threats and failures in emerging technologies such as cloud computing, autonomous systems, and smart electric vehicles. Researchers are developing innovative frameworks and methodologies to assess and mitigate security risks, ensuring the healthy evolution of these industries. A key direction in this field is the integration of cybersecurity and functional safety, recognizing that a security incident can have catastrophic consequences for functional safety systems. Noteworthy papers in this area include:

• A security evaluation framework for cloud computing services, which enables enterprises and individuals to better understand the security posture of cloud services.
• A synergistic development of cybersecurity and functional safety for smart electric vehicles, highlighting the importance of parallel development of these domains.
• An active short circuit and safe discharge mechanism for multi-phase inverters, which enhances the safety and reliability of these systems, particularly in critical applications such as electric vehicles.
