CDR Blog Archive

This archive collects past blog posts published by The Cyber Defense Review between 2015 and 2019. These posts featured timely reflections, field-based insights, and policy-oriented commentary on key issues in the cyber defense domain. They played an important role in fostering discussion across military, academic, and policy communities,and we thank all past contributors for their engagement with the journal and the broader community.

As part of the journal’s evolving editorial strategy, we have retired the blog format as a current submission pathway. Authors interested in contributing similar pieces are encouraged to submit to our Professional Commentary category (see our Instructions to Authors). These submissions offer a platform for timely, practice-oriented reflections on current developments, operational challenges, or policy questions in cyber defense, and are reviewed by our editorial team for relevance and clarity.

We also encourage prospective authors to explore our partner publications — the Modern War Institute (MWI) and Gray Space: Cyber & Electromagnetic Warfare Journal — which continue to publish similar high-quality content relevant to this community.

This archive preserves the original blog contributions as a valuable record of past dialogue and evolving perspectives in the cyber defense field.
