April 2025 - The Colloquium for Information Systems Security Education™ announces the release of the Spring 2025 issue of our Journal publication. This volume highlights academic papers presented at the 28th Colloquium (November 2024) at the University of Tampa that foster significant advances in the body of knowledge. A special thanks to paper authors, reviewers, and editors for their time and dedication.
Volume 12, Issue 1
This year 24 papers were accepted from across the US and internationally. The journal publishes all submitted papers of significant value to the Colloquium members and the field, after passing a peer review process and review by the Editorial Board.
The papers this year meet the emerging challenges of society’s dramatic cyber transformations with rigorous work from multiple disciplines, all converging on improving cybersecurity education. AI is a major theme, with authors researching its use in education as well as providing innovative content on AI. Quantum computing is represented with research based on operational capabilities. The socio-psychological aspects of cyberspace are analyzed by our authors as cybersecurity capabilities expands to address the psychology of cyber conflict roles and behavior on social media. Yet enhancement of core cybersecurity education disciplines are also seeing innovation, such as curricular strategies, gamification, and project-based learning. New research for teaching particular skills like Operations technologies, and in new contexts like Occupational Therapy.
The Editorial Board would like to thank all those who participated, in particular the journal’s Program Committee members who enabled the peer review process. This allows us to maintain the high standards of the journal and improve the Editorial Board’s review process. Thanks to The Colloquium’s President, Denise Kinsey, for organizing the conference again this year. And thank you to the Board of Directors and Officers of the Colloquium, who provided essential leadership and guidance under Chairman & Co-founder William “Vic” Maconachy.
