Introduction
----------------
Developing nations have seen many technological advances in the last
decade. Although beneficial and progressive, it can lead to unsafe mobile
devices, system networks, and Internet of Things (IoT) devices, causing
security vulnerabilities that can have ripple effects throughout society.
While researchers attempt to find solutions, improper implementation and
negative uses of technology continue to create new security threats to
users. This edited book brings together research-based chapters and case
studies on systems security techniques and current methods to identify and
overcome technological vulnerabilities, emphasizing security issues in
developing nations. This book is an essential reference source for
researchers, university academics, computing professionals, and upper-level
students in developing countries interested in the techniques, laws, and
training initiatives currently being implemented and adapted for secure
computing.

Objective
------------
This edited book aims to uncover the existing problems while coming up with
solutions regarding a nation's infrastructure. Much of the research today
focuses on highly developed countries; thus, cybersecurity difficulties
significantly differ from those of emerging nations. As many of these
nations have close ties to highly developed ones, this could pose a
potential threat to the global supply chain. It is imperative that securing
a developed country is ensuring those that emerging nations are secured as
well.

Target Audience
---------------------
This book is targeted at researchers, academics, and practitioners who wish
to understand the cybersecurity space in developing nations. This book also
offers practitioners who want to secure their global supply chain by
understanding the issues faced in emerging countries.
