Volume 13, Issue 2 Editorial
27 APRIL 2014
To all readers, we are very excited about this issue. This is a special edition of the Journal of Information Warfare (JIW) and the first of its kind where we have collaborated with the Information Assurance Directorate (IAD) of the National Security Agency (NSA). In this publication, we bring you 10 articles from current and highly technical subject matter experts from NSA, all of which focus on cyber-security efforts that attempt to realize their theme of Confidence in Cyberspace. We hope you enjoy this special issue, and it is our desire to continue this new effort as an annual tradition.
As many of you know, the staff of JIW have been very involved and active in a number of IO and IW conferences as will be shown below. We recently attended and led several panel discussions at the latest International Conference on Cyber Warfare and Security (ICCWS ’14) at Purdue University on 24-25 March in West Lafayette, Indiana. It was a great event and kudos to Sam Liles and Eugene Spafford for their leadership over the last year in making this happen.
There are also a number of other great IO and IW conferences that you should be aware of, all of which are also outstanding opportunities for you to meet and collaborate with other cyber academics:
- Information Operations Global, 17-19 June 2014, The Kensington Close Hotel, London,http://www.informationoperationsevent.com
- Spend the 4th of July in the birthplace of Democracy!!!! Go to Athens, Greece for the next European Conference on Cyber Warfare and Security, http://academic-conferences.org/eccws/ECCWS-home.htm
- The Australians also host a great series of Cyber Warfare conferences every year in the early December timeframe, normally in Perth, but it also rotates. Check out the URL, http://conferences.secau.org/
- Go on a Safari next year!!! The ICCWS will be heading to South Africa in the world famous Kruger National Park on 24-25 March 2015, http://academic-conferences.org/iccws/iccws-home.htm
Finally the staff of the JIW is endeavouring in every way to increase the usability of this publication. We have stood up the Cyber Base, which is a new site on which to share key information for JIW subscribers: www.mindsystemscyberbase.com.
Our goal is to work with you to expand this capability as we move forward.
Cheers,
