Abstract
Cybersecurity research is gaining a lot of importance in recent times. Bibliometric analysis of cyber security research showed major areas and their overlapping. Due to overlapping research areas with allied areas like system engineering, networking, computer science, information technology, management science, etc., the impact of cyber security research is often hard to gauge. This chapter aims to present the research dimension of cyber security as a number of use cases and an attempt to connect the researcher to understand research areas of cyber security and its complexities through use cases to make them visualize the problem better. In this chapter, the following use cases are presented and analyzed: the role of social media in cyber security issues, how traditional network-based attacks influence the IoT environment, the dynamics of malware and its impact on AI-based detection systems, and security in embedded systems.
