It is my pleasure to welcome you to a new edition of the Romanian Journal of Cyber Security. For those who are reading us for the first time, ROCYS is a flagship publication project of the National Institute for Research and Development in Informatics ICI Bucharest, which is the oldest and most important civilian research institute on cyber issues in Romania. With the trust placed in us by our contributors who deliver exciting and substantial reports of their research, we can look forward to a day soon enough when ROCYS will have joined the academic publication elite and be indexed in the most prestigious database, alongside two other journals of ICI Bucharest, Studies in Informatics and Control and Romanian Journal of Information Technology and Automatic Control. Even without such inclusion yet, we have noticed a significant uptick in the amount of interest ROCYS is shown, the readership that the open access model affords us and the quantity and quality of submissions.
