The journal aims to be an internationally recognized forum attracting authors and audiences from both the academic and industrial communities. Papers offering original and innovative research contributions in information systems security and related domains are solicited for submission. The primary focus is on original, high quality, and unpublished research- and implementation-related contributions.

Review Process
Each paper will be handled by the editor-in-chief, Victor Ralevich, who collects three reviews and makes the decision to (a) accept the paper with minor revisions, (b) accept the paper with major revisions, or (c) reject the paper. The editor-in-chief will communicate with the author(s) about the decision, and provide reviews. The goal is to provide the first round of reviews within three months of the paper assignment. The authors with papers requesting major revisions should submit the major revisions within one month after they were informed about the decision. Authors who need more time are kindly requested to contact the Editor. The Editor reserves the right to reject a paper if it does not meet the aims and scope of the journal, it is not technically sound, it is not revised satisfactorily, or if it is inadequate in presentation.
