[AISWorld] HICSS 2022 CFP: Organizational Cybersecurity: Advanced Cyber Defense, Cyber Analytics, and Security Operations

[Steiner, Stuart]

The co-chairs for Organizational Cybersecurity: Advanced Cyber Defense, Cyber Analytics, and Security Operations are currently accepting proposals for the 55th Hawaiian International Conference on System Sciences.

Minitrack Co-Chairs: Stu Steiner (ssteiner at ewu.edu), Mia Plachkinova (mplachki at kennesaw.edu), Morgan Shepherd (mshepher at uccs.edu), and Daniel Conte de Leon (dcontedeleon at uidaho.edu)

The minitrack is located within the Organizational Systems and Technology track. Details about the conference can be found at https://hicss.hawaii.edu/

We invite submissions describing novel research or industry programs and experiences in the continuous, efficient, and effective design, engineering, implementation, operation, and management of cyber defense, cyber analytics, and security operations systems and processes within the enterprise. We welcome papers from human, technical, and process perspectives on organizational cybersecurity.
Cybersecurity touches all aspects of organizational management, with organizational systems, networks and critical infrastructures increasingly targeted by determined malicious actors with advanced skills and resources. Such attacks have the potential for major disruption of our society including damage to assets, people, and the environment. Organizations, of all sizes and at all levels, are faced with the challenge of continuously, effectively, and efficiently protecting their systems while enabling and ensuring their mission. Organizational cybersecurity aims to advance knowledge on the theory and practice of cybersecurity management.

Potential paper topics include:
• Techniques and approaches for effective, efficient, and continuous event analysis and incident detection and response.
• Techniques and approaches for effective, efficient, and continuous cyber defense and security operation programs.
• Design and implementation of systems, techniques, and tools, and policies and procedures for successful security operation programs and Security Operation Centers (SOC).
• Frameworks, specification, and verification languages and techniques for design, implementation, and management of cyber defense and security operations and system processes, policies, and configurations.
• Techniques, processes, and tools for continuous risk management, identification, analysis, and governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) strategies.
• Techniques, processes, and tools for continuous cyber defense and advanced system, software, and application hardening, including mobile devices, Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing, and critical infrastructures
• Advanced techniques, processes, and tools for malware and malicious activity prevention and detection.
• Advanced techniques, processes, and tools for continuous vulnerability assessment of or for cyber defense and security operations, including the use of white hats.
• Development of effective and efficient programs for security education, training, and awareness (SETA) programs across the organization.
• Strategies for establishing successful organizational policies for social media privacy, workplace and public space monitoring, data protection, BYOD, MDM, and intellectual property protections.
• Assessment and improvement of user perceptions of security practices and user acceptance of policy and technology.
