Decoding sustainability: A machine learning-based analysis of socioeconomic drivers in global sustainable developmental goals progress
description: Sustainability, a concept that gained prominence with the Brundtland Report in 1987, is defined as a development approach that addresses present needs without jeopardizing the ability of future generations to meet theirs. Over the years, sustainability has evolved beyond its initial environmental focus, now encompassing economic, social, and political dimensionsmaking it an essential pillar of modern development initiatives. To drive global sustainable development forward, the United Nations adopted the 2030 Agenda, featuring 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These goals aim to resolve some of the most pressing challenges faced by humanity, including poverty eradication, climate action, gender equality, and economic growth. The SDG Index, which evaluates a countrys progress toward these goals, helps measure and compare performance across nations. The Intersection of Socioeconomic Factors and SDG Progress is significant for the growth of a country. A countrys Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has often been seen as a key economic indicator, reflecting its ability to invest in sustainable initiatives. However, sustainability is not solely dependent on financial resourcessocial factors play a critical role. To assess the connection between well-being and sustainability, researchers often analyze the Happiness Index alongside SDG scores. Countries demonstrating both high happiness levels and strong sustainability scores provide valuable insights into the relationship between social welfare and global progress. Furthermore, machine learning (ML) techniques have emerged as powerful tools in sustainability research. By analyzing vast datasets, AI-driven approaches can predict trends, optimize resources, and enhance policy implementationaccelerating progress toward a sustainable future. The Evolving Landscape of Sustainability and Its Global Impact is realized using statistical and ML approaches in this study. Rethinking Strategies for a Sustainable Tomorrow is very impor…

AI-driven defense mechanisms for Sybil and DDoS attacks in cloud networks
description: With massive DDoS attacks and Sybil attacks targeting national digital frameworks, financial institutions, and vital infrastructures, India is seeing an unparalleled increase in cyber threats. These attacks reveal significant vulnerabilities in national cybersecurity by jeopardizing system availability and integrity. Sybil attacks use numerous falsified identities to get unauthorized control over trust-based systems, while DDoS attacks flood networks with illegal traffic, making services inaccessible. This study investigates advanced machine learning (ML)-based identification and prevention strategies, including support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF), decision tree (DT), and logistic regression (LR). To identify attack patterns, the methodology entails gathering actual network traffic data, preprocessing it to extract key information, and then using these models. To identify the best strategy, a comparison study is carried out depending on various parameters such as accuracy, precision, recall, and computing efficiency. The research suggests that random forest outperforms other ML algorithms in detecting Sybil attacks and DDoS attacks, achieving the maximum stability and accuracy. Nevertheless, the classification method is improved by merging decision trees and logistic regression, which further increases detection accuracy. In order to actively fight changing cyber threats, our findings highlight how important it is to include machine learning-driven security frameworks into India's cybersecurity infrastructure. 2026 selection and editorial matter, Jossy George, Kamal Upreti, Ramesh Chandra Poonia, Ankit Gautam, and Danish Nadeem; individual chapters, the contributors.

Integration of cyber-physical systems with wearable devices:A new paradigm for patient monitoring
description: The healthcare sector has witnessed significant changes as cyber-physical systems (CPS) bring embedded technologies that are developed from human and physical surroundings to smart objects. Wearable technologies such as wearable fitness trackers, biosensors, and smartwatches stand as good examples of smart healthcare that may improve decision-making and real-time patient monitoring. Through advances in personal health technology, mobile medication, and smart sensing, these technologies aid the medical treatment of the patient. Such advancements enable monitoring and programming health data streams continually, which supports early diagnosis and better care. However, challenges persist in integrating machine learning into health wearables; it still poses a limitation, improving algorithm accuracy and reliability so that the use can be widespread. Advances in skin-based, textile-based, and biofluidic designs have allowed medical wearables to monitor neuro, cardiovascular, and metabolic disorders, which are being further extended to drug delivery systems. The present study identifies gaps and advances in the field using secondary data from articles, journals, and research papers. It highlights future research directions on the clinical applications of wearable technology and its role in routine safety and health monitoring. Findings have indicated that regulated data privacy, equity, and fairness must be pursued to fully realize CPS-enabled wearables in terms of a healthcare revolution. 2026 selection and editorial matter, Jossy George, Kamal Upreti, Ramesh Chandra Poonia, Ankit Gautam, and Danish Nadeem; individual chapters, the contributors.

Building resilient and sustainable operations through cloud security
description: With the evolution of the digital era, organizations are increasingly employing cloud computing for enhanced scalability, operational effectiveness, and innovation. With this rapid evolution in cloud technology comes vulnerability to advanced and dynamic cybersecurity threats for enterprises. This chapter discusses the idea of cloud security intelligence (CSI) as a strategic method for developing sustainable and resilient cloud operations. CSI employs state-of-the-art technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), real-time monitoring, and automation for threat detection, investigation, and threat management proactively. The chapter discusses the very essence of CSI, i.e., collecting data, threat detection, incident response, and ubiquitous monitoring, and reflects how CSI contributes to regulatory compliance, business resilience, cost reduction, and sustainability of the environment. Through real-life instances of CSI deployment in healthcare, finance, and e-commerce spaces, the chapter illustrates the paradigm-breaking function of CSI in the organizational security stance. Furthermore, it brushes upon current issues of CSI deployment and maps future directions involving AI, blockchain, Internet of Things (IoT), and quantum-safe encryption. Last but not least, CSI also offers itself not merely as a technical solution but as a strategic enabler of secure, compliant, and sustainable digital realms. 2026 selection and editorial matter, Jossy George, Kamal Upreti, Ramesh Chandra Poonia, Ankit Gautam, and Danish Nadeem; individual chapters, the contributors.
