Integrating sustainability into cybersecurity: insights from machine learning based topic modeling

The increasing emphasis on sustainability in computing systems, ranging from small devices to large data centers, is fueled by environmental concerns. Moreover, ensuring cybersecurity in these interconnected networks demands the use of technologies such as resource-intensive cryptography and advanced intrusion detection systems. Our unique study investigates the integration of environmental sustainability into cybersecurity practices by identifying six pivotal themes through a textual analysis of related publications via machine learning based topic modeling. These themes highlight the convergence of cybersecurity with sustainable development goals (SDGs), particularly SDGs 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), 9…
