Cybersecurity: Challenges From a Systems, Complexity, Knowledge Management and Business Intelligence Perspective

Information systems continue to be plagued by cybersecurity breaches. These breaches are increasing in number, complexity and severity often affect economic interests, local and national security and intellectual property. Many solutions address the information technologies themselves and how best to secure the system. A systems, holistic, approach considers cybersecurity from a business, social and information technology perspective. It also considers complexity and the organizational dynamics and interrelationships of multiple different stakeholders that exist at the strategic, managerial, and operational levels of the organization. These entities must work together in a timely and efficient manner. Business Intelligence and Analytics provides a set of methodologies and tools to help identify and manage the considerable amounts of knowledge necessary to make appropriate, timely, cybersecurity decisions to prevent or limit these beaches.
