Summer 2024

The recent European Conference on Cyber Warfare and Security (ECCWS), held at the University of Jyväskylä, Finland, in late June 2024 was an outstanding success with a large and successful group of delegates from around the world. Next year, the 2025 ECCWS event will be held at the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence - DFKI in Kaiserslautern, Germany on 26-27 June 2025, Kaiserslautern, Germany.

We are also looking forward to the next International Conference on Cyber Warfare and Security (ICCWS) to be held at the College of William & Mary (Williamsburg, VA, U.S.) in March of 2025. That series of events has a bench of universities in the US and overseas, who have already tentatively scheduled out locations in North Carolina, United Arab Emirates, California, and then back to Saudi Arabia.

Shown below are the outstanding papers that were selected for this edition after undergoing a double-blind, peer-reviewed process:

  • Securing Zambia's Business Future: Cybersecurity Guidelines for SMEs
  • How to Measure Strategic Influence: A New Science for National Security
  • Terminal Veracity: How Russian Propaganda Uses Telegram to Manufacture ‘Objectivity’ on the Battlefield
  • Defending Smart Grid Infrastructure—A Scenario-Based Analysis of Cybersecurity and Privacy Rules in China, France, Russia, UK, and USA
  • Enhancing Global Cybersecurity Resilience: Navigating the Subconscious Fallacies within Critical Infrastructure Protection
  • Digital and Technological Sovereignty of the European Union: Strategic Necessity to Survive in the Global Competition?
  • Prompt Engineering: Tactics and Techniques in Open-Source Intelligence
  • Illustrative Examples of How to Measure Influence Operations: A New Science for National Security

Our staff also supports the Journal of Cognitive Security, which is concerned with influence and protection from influence of large groups of media users and consumers both online and offline. Cognitive Security focuses on (1) the exploitation of cognitive biases in large public groups, (2) social influence as an end unto itself, and (3) formality and quantitative measurement. The Journal is sponsored by the Information Professionals Association and will be a forum for industry, academia, and government to explore the concepts of cognitive security and their impact on societies, governments (including militaries), and businesses. The Journal is a publication of ArmisteadTEC LLC, Inc. which is overseen by Dr. Leigh Armistead who will also act as Executive Editor and Publisher CEO.
