Volume 24, Issue 3 Editorial

Summer 2025
Welcome to the Summer 2025 edition of the Journal of Information Warfare (JIW). I write this editorial from Kaiserslautern, Germany where the 24th European Conference on Cyber Warfare and Security (ECCWS) is occurring. This conference and the sister event, specifically the International Conference on Cyber Warfare and Security (ICCWS), run by Academic Conferences International Limited, www.academic-conferences.org, are great events to help researchers get published as well as to meet fellow colleagues who are researching similar topics. Shown below are the locations for these future conferences, with the call for papers for ICCWS ’26 already on the street.
