IEEE安全與隱私的主要目標是刺激和跟蹤安全、隱私和可靠性方面的進展，并以對學術(shù)研究人員和行業(yè)從業(yè)人員等廣泛專業(yè)團體有用的形式呈現(xiàn)這些進展。它為文章提供了安全和隱私領(lǐng)域的頂級思想家的實踐和研究，以及信息安全行業(yè)的案例研究、調(diào)查、教程、專欄和深入訪談和播客。通過一些特別的問題，雜志及時地探索了隱私的其他方面，如可用的安全性、物聯(lián)網(wǎng)、云計算、密碼學和大數(shù)據(jù)。其他熱門主題包括軟件、硬件、網(wǎng)絡(luò)和系統(tǒng)安全、隱私增強技術(shù)、安全和隱私數(shù)據(jù)分析、無線/移動和嵌入式安全、安全基礎(chǔ)、安全經(jīng)濟學、隱私政策、集成設(shè)計方法、社會技術(shù)方面和關(guān)鍵基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施。此外，該雜志接受了廣泛關(guān)注的同行評議的文章，在一個普通的電話，也有定期專欄熱門話題和采訪該領(lǐng)域的名人。

IEEE Security & Privacy’s primary objective is to stimulate and track advances in security, privacy, and dependability and present these advances in a form that can be useful to a broad cross-section of the professional community—ranging from academic researchers to industry practitioners. It provides articles with both a practical and research bent by the top thinkers in the field of security and privacy, along with case studies, surveys, tutorials, columns, and in-depth interviews and podcasts for the information security industry. Through special issues, the magazine explores other timely aspects of privacy in areas such as usable security, the Internet of Things, cloud computing, cryptography, and big data. Other popular topics include software, hardware, network, and systems security, privacy-enhancing technologies, data analytics for security and privacy, wireless/mobile and embedded security, security foundations, security economics, privacy policies, integrated design methods, sociotechnical aspects, and critical infrastructure. In addition, the magazine accepts peer-reviewed articles of wide interest under a general call, and also features regular columns on hot topics and interviews with luminaries in the field.
