Abstract :
You´ve heard from me in this space before, but this is my first column as IEEE Security & Privacy´s editor in chief. I feel both honored and privileged to have the opportunity to assume this responsibility. George Cybenko, as both the driving force behind the magazine´s creation and its EIC for the first four years, is a hard act to follow. But because he created such a strong base for the magazine, I´m hoping it won´t be a difficult act to continue. You can expect the mix of articles, departments, and special issues on current topics to continue. You´ll see some new names in the masthead as we replace those rotating off the editorial board; this is a normal process for all IEEE publications. We´ll continue to strive for fresh and interesting material to keep you at the forefront of technology and issues in security and privacy.
