This special session aims to explore the intersection of language models (LMs) and cybersecurity, focusing on the advancements, challenges, and novel approaches in leveraging large-scale language models (LLMs) to enhance cybersecurity measures. We invite contributions that showcase innovative research, case studies, and practical applications of LLMs in various cybersecurity domains, including threat detection, anomaly detection, incident response, and risk management. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the use of LLMs for malware detection, phishing detection, threat intelligence, insider threat detection, malware generation, and adversarial defense. Additionally, we encourage submissions that address ethical considerations, scalability challenges, and the interpretability of LLM-based cybersecurity solutions.

This special issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art research in LLM-driven cybersecurity and facilitate discussions on future directions and opportunities in this rapidly evolving field.
