The emerging paradigm of social networks provides enormous novel approaches for efficiently adopting advanced networking communications and data analysis schemas using the existing datasets, networks, and infrastructure. The implementation of social networks has a great impact on humans’ daily life and global business, which has been addressed by recent research. However, the security issue is also a critical concern when adopting social networking technologies in practice. Considering the uniqueness of the social networks, using the mechanism is encountering a variety of security challenges from multiple dimensions, such as mobile apps, wireless communications, cloud systems, big data, and security operations. Compare with traditional security issues, the applications of social networks are operated in a dynamic circumstance involving different internal and external inputs or elements, in which requires various security mechanisms in distinct operational scenarios. The complexity of the technical implementations may result in unexpected consequences when adopting social networking technologies. It is remarkably significant for current researchers and practitioners to address the security issues and seek out the efficient approaches to different hazards. For the purpose of preventing social networking-based solutions from the threats of social networks, a variety of cyber security approaches or mechanism have been created. This special issue will concentrates on the challenging topic ? “Social Network Security” and aims to invite the updated academic achievements to be submitted here.
