About the course
Aim
The course applies organisation theory to the study of cybersecurity and views cybersecurity as an object and process of organising and management. The course is designed to enable students to develop competencies that will enable them to subsequently evaluate and, if necessary, make organisational and management-related cybersecurity decisions.
Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to
- explain risk, uncertainty and compliance as socially constructed
- identify opportunities and limitations of risk control
- evaluate cybersecurity incidents as learning opportunities
- recognize cybersecurity-related professions and professionalism
- design a cybersecurity strategy
Content
The course addresses how cybersecurity activities are aligned in a structured manner with organisational objectives in compliance with relevant industry and government regulations. Organising cybersecurity involves defining roles related to cybersecurity, including responsibility for coordinating authority and informal relationships, and allocating resources to cybersecurity within the organisation. The course deals with the following topics.
Organizing Uncertainty
- Rise of internal risk control due to expansion of legal and quasi-legal rules, counting and reporting as well as professionalism
- Concepts of corporate governance and responsibility
- Organizational legitimacy as a threat of corporate governance
Cybersecurity and Professionalism
- Professionalism as the ‘third logic’
- Creation of the cybersecurity profession as social identity and semi-profession
- Variety of professional roles ensuring cybersecurity and their responsibilities for compliance and in case of misconduct
Cybersecurity and Compliance Management
- Rise of transnational regulation sustaining a world of governance
- Government and governance of cybersecurity and its design
- Implementation of governance: management of compliance and deviance in organizations
Cybersecurity and Incident Management
- Classic vs. strategic approach of cybersecurity
- Integration of organizational learning from failures or misconduct (incidents) under bounded rationality
- Compliant cybersecurity strategy including sensemaking, resources, responsibilities, and incentives
- Classification of incidences and incident management
