Combining Sociocultural Intelligence with Artificial Intelligence to Increase Organizational Cyber Security Provision through Enhanced Resilience
Full text linkAlthough artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) can be deployed to improve cyber security management, not all managers understand the different types of AI/ML and how they are to be deployed alongside the benefits associated with sociocultural intelligence. The aim of this paper was to provide a context within which managers can better appreciate the role that sociocultural intelligence plays so that they can better utilize AI/ML to facilitate cyber threat intelligence (CTI). We focused our attention on explaining how different approaches to intelligence (i.e., the intelligence cycle (IC) and the critical thinking process (CTP)) can be combined and linked with cyber threat intelligence (CTI) so that AI/ML is used effectively. A small group interview was undertaken with five senior security managers based in a range of companies, all of whom had extensive security knowledge and industry experience. The findings suggest that organizational learning, transformational leadership, organizational restructuring, crisis management, and corporate intelligence are fundamental components of threat intelligence and provide a basis upon which a cyber threat intelligence cycle process (CTICP) can be developed to aid the resilience building process. The benefit of this is to increase organizational resilience by more firmly integrating the intelligence activities of the business so that a proactive approach to cyber security management is achieved
Managing Cybersecurity Threats and Increasing Organizational Resilience
Full text linkThis 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
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Editorial: Advances in Cybersecurity: Challenges and Solutions
No full textThis Special Issue is dedicated to developments in cyber security from an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary perspective and focuses on challenges in relation to (i) companies; (ii) governments; and (iii) society. The Issue will establish how technology and human-technology interaction enhances cyber security from a holistic perspective so that society is better protected from sustained cyber attacks. We welcome all kinds of contributions, including empirical papers, practitioner-oriented papers, theoretical papers and conceptual papers, with an emphasis on linking theory with practice.
The areas to be addressed include:
Trustworthiness, software, cloud computing, artificial intelligence vulnerabilities and solutions, the use of the advanced biometrics, issues in blockchain technology, improving cyber security systems and networks, cyber security models, management policy and new business models, ethical hacking, the protection of critical national infrastructure and the protection of critical information infrastructure, smart cities, the consumer and privacy, counteracting fake news and disinformation, social media networks, online advertising, the Internet of Things, educational policy, the psychology of cyber crime, ransomware, and government policy.
A range of related bodies of knowledge can be drawn on, including business continuity management, crisis and emergency management, organizational resilience, and risk management. In addition, the Special Issue will be open to a range of authors, including scientists and social scientists
