Minitrack description, which includes a fast-track journal opportunity:



Today, organizational systems, networks, and critical infrastructures are increasingly targeted by determined malicious actors with advanced skills and resources. Such attacks have the potential for major disruptions to our society including damage to assets, people, and the environment. As a result, 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. This minitrack aims to advance the knowledge and best practices for successful cybersecurity implementation and management within the context of modern organizations.



We invite submissions describing novel research results, best practices, and/or industry programs and experiences related to 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. This includes technical aspects, ethical and legal issues, governance, risk assessment and management, compliance, system audits, and strategic initiatives. The minitrack welcomes papers from human, technical, and process perspectives on organizational cybersecurity. Potential paper topics include, but are not limited to:

  *   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 machine learning, artificial intelligence, 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, cyber defense, and security operations.
  *   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, bring your own device (BYOD), mobile device management (MDM), and intellectual property protections.
  *   Assessment and improvement of user perceptions of security practices and user acceptance of policy and technology.



Selected papers from this minitrack will be recommended to the editors of Organizational Cybersecurity: Practice, Process, and People for fast-track review and publication of an extended version of the HICSS paper. The extended version must include at least 30% new material, cite the HICSS paper, and include an explicit statement about the increment (e.g., new results and findings, better description of materials, etc.) in the cover letter.
