The Cyber Defense Review (CDR) is an open-access, peer-reviewed, scholarly journal that serves as a forum for current and emerging research on cyber operations. Its focus is on strategy, operations, tactics, history, ethics, law, and policy in the cyber domain. CDR positions itself as a leading venue for interdisciplinary work at the intersection of cyber and defense, welcoming contributions from the military, industry, professional, and academic communities.
The journal is committed to publishing original, previously unpublished, and intellectually rigorous research that advances the body of knowledge in this rapidly evolving field. We invite timely and relevant submissions that reflect both theoretical insight and practical application, with the goal of informing cyber-related decision-making, operations, and scholarship. As cyberspace is global, the CDR welcomes and encourages international participation. All submissions must contain unclassified material that is suitable for unrestricted distribution.
The Cyber Defense Review (ISSN 2474-2120) is published quarterly by West Point Press (https://westpointpress.com) and hosted by the Army Cyber Institute at West Point (https://cyber.army.mil).
