The term cybersecurity refers to an environment capable of protecting digital devices, networks and information from unauthorized access and preventing data theft or alteration. It is composed of a collection of carefully crafted techniques, processes, and practices to protect sensitive information and deterring cyber-attacks. In the recent period, the domain of cybersecurity has undergone rapid growth in response to the increasing cyber threats. Cybersecurity includes important tactics that help protect the digital environment, which are firewalls, encryption, secure passwords, and threat detection and response systems. Employees must be trained on these tactics. This article will discuss the five most pressing challenges facing the cybersecurity industry today that must be taken into account by businesses, organizations, and individuals in order to secure their confidential data from cybercrime. The conclusion of the article highlighted the significance of growing awareness about cybersecurity risks in order to effectively handle digital environments and protect them from any electronic threats.
Skin cancer is considered as one of the dangerous types of cancer with a high proportion of deaths. This cancer can be categorized into two main types; Melanoma, which is the deadliest form, and Non-Melanoma. Early melanoma detection and diagnosis allows more treatment options and decreases significantly the number of deaths. Many researchers proposed to use image processing for skin lesion detection. The process can be divided into three main stages: lesion identification based on image segmentation, features extraction and lesion classification. Segmentation and features extraction are the key-steps and significantly influence the outcome of the classification results. In this paper, an improved segmentation approach for skin lesion detection and classification has been proposed. The proposed approach consists on a pre-processing based on multiscale decomposition thats separate the input image into two components. The geometrical component will be used in the segmentation stage and the texture component in features extraction. The efficiency and the performance of the proposed approach has been evaluated in comparison with recent and robust dermoscopic approaches from literature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
