Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Information is a critical to effective and timely decision making. We must ensure that that information is of good quality and treated as an asset. It is also important to ensure that information is secure and available when it is required for an intended audience for an intended purpose. Effective information security is crucial to trusted analytics, intelligence, decision-making, and automation. Traditional and fragmented approaches to information security often fall short. A business resilience, risk-driven information security-by-design approach is required to secure digital information assets in digitally enabled ecosystems. This Special Issue hopes to investigate contemporary information security concepts, design challenges, practices, technologies, and applications in various areas.
