*Introduction*
New technology developments such as social media, mobile computing,
Internet of things (IoT), and Mutual Distributed Ledgers (MDLs like
blockchain technologies) have offered innovation opportunities to enable
new forms of organizational change, spawned new business models and created
novel user experiences. While the adoption of these innovative technologies
allows new ways of sharing, using, and storing data within the organization
and across organizational boundaries, these new IT-driven digital business
opportunities also generate new risks. For instance, Gartner estimates that
more than 20% of organizational security attacks will involve IoT
connectivity. Thus, this special issue will focus on the identification and
management of security risks resulting from the use of new technologies in
different industries. In essence, we are interested in understanding how
organizations or individuals can effectively mitigate the cybersecurity
risks for digital business. How can organizations develop digital security
strategies in today’s technology-based world? What are the tools and
techniques used by cybercriminals, and how can organizations deal with the
increasingly complex cyber security threats effectively? Submissions that
focus on the interplay of technical, behavioral, economic and/or
organizational perspectives on information security are especially welcome.
Submitted research can be analytical, design-oriented, or empirical in
nature.
