The Internet is making our daily lives as digital as possible, and this new era is called the Internet of Everything (IoE). The key force behind the rapid growth of the Internet is the technological advancement of enterprises. The digital world we live in is facilitated by these enterprises'advances and business intelligence. These enterprises need to deal with gazillions of bytes of data, and in today's age of General Data Protection Regulation, enterprises are required to ensure privacy and security of large-scale data collections. However, the increased connectivity and devices used to facilitate IoE are continually creating more room for cybercriminals to find vulnerabilities in enterprise systems and flaws in their corporate governance. Ensuring cybersecurity and corporate governance for enterprises should not be an afterthought or present a huge challenge. In recent times, the complex diversity of cyber-attacks has been skyrocketing, and zero-day attacks, such as ransomware, botnet, and telecommunication attacks, are happening more frequently than before. New hacking strategies would easily bypass existing enterprise security and governance platforms using advanced, persistent threats. For example, in 2020, the Toll Group firm was exploited by a new crypto-attack family for violating its data privacy, where an advanced ransomware technique was launched to exploit the corporation and request a huge figure of monetary ransom. Even after applying rational governance hygiene, cybersecurity configuration and software updates are often overlooked when they are most needed to fight cyber-crime and ensure data privacy. Therefore, the threat landscape in the context of enterprises has become wider and far more challenging. There is a clear need for collaborative work throughout the entire value chain of this network. In this context, this book addresses the cybersecurity and cooperate governance challenges associated with enterprises, which will provide a bigger picture of the concepts, intelligent techniques, practices, and open research directions in this area. This book serves as a single source of reference for acquiring the knowledge on the technology, process, and people involved in next-generation privacy and security.

This book explores the strategic decisions made by organizations when implementing cybersecurity controls and leveraging economic models and theories from the economics of information security and risk-management frameworks. Based on unique and distinct research completed within the field of risk-management and information security, this book provides insight into organizational risk-management processes utilized in determining cybersecurity investments. It describes how theoretical models and frameworks rely on either specific scenarios or controlled conditions and how decisions on cybersecurity spending within organizations—specifically, the funding available in comparison to the recommended security measures necessary for compliance—vary depending on stakeholders. As the trade-off between the costs of implementing a security measure and the benefit derived from the implementation of security controls is not easily measured, a business leader's decision to fund security measures may be biased. The author presents an innovative approach to assess cybersecurity initiatives with a risk-management perspective and leverages a data-centric focus on the evolution of cyber-attacks. This book is ideal for business school students and technology professionals with an interest in risk management.

The motivation for writing this book is to share our knowledge, analyses, and conclusions about cybersecurity in particular and risk management in general to raise awareness among businesses, academics, and the general public about the cyber landscape changes and challenges that are occurring with emerging threats that will affect individual and corporate information security. As a result, we believe that all stakeholders should adopt a unified, coordinated, and organized approach to addressing corporate cybersecurity challenges based on a shared paradigm. There are two levels at which this book can be read. For starters, it can be read by regular individuals with little or no risk management experience. Because of the book's non-technical style, it is appropriate for this readership. The intellectual information may appear daunting at times, but we hope the reader will not be disheartened. One of the book's most notable features is that it is organized in a logical order that guides the reader through the enterprise risk management process, beginning with an introduction to risk management fundamentals and concluding with the strategic considerations that must be made to successfully implement a cyber risk management framework. Another group of readers targeted by this book is practitioners, students, academics, and regulators. We do not anticipate that everyone in this group will agree with the book's content and views. However, we hope that the knowledge and material provided will serve as a basis for them to expand on in their work or endeavors. The book comprises ten chapters. Chapter 1 is a general introduction to the theoretical concepts of risk and constructs of enterprise risk management. Chapter 2 presents the corporate risk landscape and cyber risk in terms of the characteristics and challenges of cyber threats vis-à-vis the emerging risks thereof from the perspective of a business organization. Chapter 3 presents the idea of enterprise risk management and explains the structure and functions of enterprise risk management as they relate to cybersecurity. Chapter 4 provides the cybersecurity risk management standards, which may be used to build a cybersecurity risk management framework that is based on best practices. The cyber operational risk management process begins in Chapter 5 with the introduction of the risk identification function. Chapter 6 continues with the next step of this process by presenting the risk assessment procedures for evaluating and prioritizing cyber risks. Chapter 7 explains the activities in the third step in the ORM process of risk mitigation and provides examples of the tools and techniques for addressing risk exposures. Chapter 8 presents a critical function from an operational perspective for its role in detecting risk and continual improvement of the organization's cybersecurity processes through the reporting function. Chapter 9 discusses the crisis management steps that businesses must take to respond to and recover from a cyber incident. Chapter 10 emphasizes the essential ERM components that senior management should be aware of and cultivate to create an effective cyber risk control framework by focusing on the strategic aspects of cybersecurity risk management from a business viewpoint. This chapter proposes a cybersecurity ERM framework based on the content given in this book.

Susan Jones had been the CEO of Investments Unlimited, Inc. (IUI) for five years, a financial institution that has successfully navigated their digital transformation. She is quick on her feet and is trusted by the board. But right now—although you can't tell from her demeanor—she was panicking. Today, IUI received notice from bank regulators concerning their unsatisfactory audit and compliance practices. If they failed to address the regulators'concerns within the year, the company could go up in smoke. She didn't understand. How had her team let this happen? How had she let this happen?

Digital Governance provides managers with a simple and jargon-free introduction to the impact that digital technology can have on the governance of their organisations. Digital technology is at the heart of any enterprise today, changing business processes and the way we work. But this technology is often used inefficiently, riskily or inappropriately. Worse perhaps, many organisational leaders fail to grasp the opportunities it offers and thus fail to'transform'their organisations through the use of technology.This book provides an explanation of the basic issues around the opportunities and risks associated with digital technology. It describes the role that digital technology can play across organisations (and not just behind the locked doors of the IT department), giving boards and top management the insight to develop strategies for investing in and exploiting digital technology as well as arming them with the knowledge required to ask the right questions of specialists and to detect when the answers given are evasive or irrelevant.International in its scope, this essential book covers the fundamental principles of digital governance such as leadership, capability, accountability for value creation and transparency of reporting, integrity and ethical behaviour.

Though healthcare is largely technology driven, the deployment of health information technology (HIT) has occurred in waves rather than a steady flow, and usually in response to government mandates. This emergent HIT strategy has culminated in highly complex and dynamic systems crafted over many years using products from multiple vendors. Healthcare organizations are now focused on big data aggregated from myriad data-producing applications both in and beyond the enterprise. Healthcare leaders must position themselves to leverage the new opportunities that arise from HIT's ascendance and to mine the vast amount of available data for competitive advantage. Where can they turn for insight? With the unique advantage of both academic and real-world experience in HIT leadership, the authors of Information Technology for Healthcare Managers blend management theory, cutting-edge tech knowledge, and a thorough grounding in the healthcare applications of technology. The ninth edition offers the following: • Rigorously updated content that reflects this rapidly changing field, including discussions of the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, blockchain, cybersecurity, and cloud computing • An entirely new chapter on data analytics for leaders who want to harness the power of data for decision support, evidence-based management, and other strategic uses • A review of the core HIT elements of healthcare delivery • Guidance on management issues specific to healthcare organizations, including regulation, HIT and data governance, infrastructure, the selection of applications, contract negotiating, and portfolio management • Management and systems theory, applied to the challenges of HIT Opinions abound on technology's best uses for society, but healthcare organizations need more than opinion—they need knowledge and strategy. This book will help leaders combine tech savvy with business savvy for sustainable success in a dynamic environment.
