The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), the world's largest computing society, has announced the forthcoming publication of ACM Digital Threats: Research and Practice (DTRAP), a new peer-reviewed journal that targets the prevention, identification, mitigation and elimination of digital threats. DTRAP aims to promote the development of scientific rigour in digital security by bridging the gap between academic research and industry practice. Submissions for the inaugural issue to be published in 2019 are now being accepted via the DTRAP website.
In addition to research articles, DTRAP will invite contributions to two regular columns: 'With the Benefit of Hindsight' and 'Leaving the Laboratory: Putting Research into Practice.' 'With the Benefit of Hindsight' will detail what authors have learned from past cybersecurity successes or failures, exploring themes such as lessons learned during a security event, how the landscape has changed since the event, and what further development remains to be done.
Each installment of 'Leaving the Laboratory' will examine a peer-reviewed research article from a recent issue of DTRAP with respect to implementing research, essentially taking the research into practice. Topics for this column will include general concerns for both researchers and practitioners that relate to doing research effectively, or examining actual changes seen in the security landscape as a result of researchers and practitioners collaborating.
In addition to Co-EICs Metcalf and Lakhotia, the DTRAP editorial team includes Managing Editor Eric Hatleback of the University of Pittsburgh and CERT, and an international team of 25 Associate Editors representing various countries including Belgium, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, The Netherlands, and the US.
