There has been a severe need for publicly available benchmark datasets in the past decades for advancing artificial intelligence and cyber security research. Even in late 2000, researchers heavily used datasets developed by DARPA, such as DARPA 1998 and KDD Cup 1999. Researchers have identified the need for more recent and contemporary datasets representing different critical infrastructures and state-of-the-art cyber-attacks in the last few years. Still, there need to be more datasets that can represent the entire Internet-of-Everything ecosystem. Hence, there is an increasing demand for more current and publicly available datasets which can help develop explainable artificial intelligence-based solutions to address the newer variants of cyber-attacks.

This Topical Collection encourages researchers and industry practitioners to share their research and investigation on heterogenous cybercrime and associated datasets.

Topics include, but are not limited, to the following:

- Cyber Smart City
- Internet of Health Things
- Internet of Flying Things
- Internet of Family Things
- Smart Utilities
- Smart Airport
- Smart Home
- Cyber Physical Systems
- Operational Technology
- Unmanned Vehicles
- Autonomous Systems
- Wearable Devices
- Good Data
- Dark Data
- Under water Applications
- Covert Communications
- Surveillance
- Misinformation
- Deepfakes
- Ransomware
- Cryptocurrency
- Blockchain
