Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, “Managing Cybersecurity Threats and Increasing Organizational Resilience”, aims to bring together researchers from various fields of study. Researchers involved in single-discipline, inter-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary studies are welcome to submit a paper for peer review. Studies that address academic and industrial cybersecurity problems, and that provide insights into how cybersecurity threats can be dealt with, are welcome, as are papers that address current and future issues and challenges, and explain how managers and policymakers in both the private sector and the public sector deal with specific issues. A key focus of this Special Issue is to show how researchers are studying the complexities associated with various cyber attacks and how frameworks, models and concepts can be used to provide better intelligence so that the organization can be made more resilient. It is envisaged that a range of papers will be forthcoming that cover various perspectives on this topic. For example, papers of a quantitative as well as those of a qualitative nature are welcome. Papers may be theoretical, empirical, written in the form of a literature review or presented as a case study. They can also be industry-specific or general in nature. The main emphasis is to have a collection of papers that broaden the scope and interpretation of cybersecurity so that the threats identified can be established and recommendations made as to how the organization can be made more resilient and better able to deal with such threats. Of interest is a mix of theoretical and applied papers outlining current knowledge and offering unique solutions or interpretations of the subject matter; alternatively, critiques based on the established facts would also be appreciated.
This Special Issue will complement the existing literature and broaden our knowledge by placing cybersecurity within a wider context. The papers submitted are expected to cover a number of academic fields and link concepts and models with management applications and government policy. Papers can be very specific in nature or broad-based. They should appeal to various audiences including academics, researchers, students, business practitioners and government representatives.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Artificial intelligence and analytics;
- Artificial intelligence capabilities;
- Artificial intelligence and human interaction;
- Artificial intelligence platform categories;
- Big data—in the context of management systems, government guidelines and policies and keeping data secure;
- Biometrics and security;
- Cognitive processes and learning;
- Cybercrime and its various forms;
- Cybersecurity challenges and solutions;
- Cyberterrorism and the nature of the threat;
- Cyberwarfare in the context of new approaches to warfare;
- Data management;
- Emergency planning;
