Creese, S., Dutton, W. H., & Esteve-González, P. (2021). The social and cultural shaping of cybersecurity capacity building: a comparative study of nations and regions. Personal and Ubiquitous Computing, 25(5), 941. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00779-021-01569-6

This journal article presents an empirical study of the social and cultural aspects of cybersecurity capacity building in 78 nations. While nations within geographically defined regions might be expected to share similar attitudes, values, and practices around cybersecurity, this analysis finds that regional differences can be explained largely by cross-national differences in development and the scale of Internet use.

This journal article explores the use of specific language in the discussion of global governance of cybersecurity problems and framing an understanding of policy problems by imposing mental models of both the problem and possible solutions. As a result, miscommunication can also constrain ethical reasoning about new technologies, by uncritically carrying over assumptions about moral roles and obligations from an existing domain.

This journal article details the arguments and theoretical developments of the literature related to global cybersecurity assemblage and the foundation of assemblage thinking in conceptualizing various concepts, including open systems, complexity, and emerging and non-linear dynamics in the global system infrastructure.

Saiz-Alvarez, J. M., & Leal, G. C. (2020). Cybersecurity Best Practices and Cultural Change in Global Business: Some Perspectives from the European Union.

This article explores the technology of cyber threat intelligence (CTI) which is a proof-based defense framework that proactively reacts by monitoring and exchanging security-related information of advanced cyber threats among different industries. The efficiency of CTI systems may be considerably impeded by developing and disseminating inappropriate protection policies. Although global attention is on the health and the economic challenges raised by COVID-19, this epidemic is certainly being exploited by cybercriminals across the globe.

Xing, Y., Shu, H., Zhao, H., Li, D., & Guo, L. (2021). Survey on Botnet Detection Techniques: Classification, Methods, and Evaluation. Mathematical Problems in Engineering, 1–24. https://doi.org/10.1155/2021/6640499

With the continuous evolution of the Internet, as well as the development of the Internet of Things, smart terminals, cloud platforms, and social platforms, botnets showing the characteristics of platform diversification, communication concealment, and control intelligence are a concern on a global scale. From the four dimensions of service, intelligence, collaboration, and assistant, a common bot detection evaluation system (CBDES) is proposed, which defines a new global capability measurement standard.
