About the Journal

The Journal of Cybersecurity, Fraud & Digital Risk (JCFR) is an interdisciplinary scholarly journal dedicated to advancing research and knowledge on cybersecurity, digital fraud, cybercrime, and emerging digital risks.

JCFR recognizes that today's digital threats extend beyond technology alone. Understanding and addressing them requires perspectives from cybersecurity, computer science, artificial intelligence, digital forensics, finance, law, criminology, business, governance, psychology, and related fields. The journal therefore welcomes research that connects these disciplines and contributes to a broader understanding of digital security and risk.
