Ganin, A. A., Quach, P., Panwar, M., Collier, Z. A., Keisler, J. M., Marchese, D., & Linkov, I. (2020). Multicriteria decision framework for cybersecurity risk assessment and management. Risk Analysis: An International Journal, 40(1), 183–199.

This journal article emphasizes the need to apply a multidimensional approach to the dynamic nature of cyber systems based on advances in technology, distribution of information and systems, sociocognitive domains, and complex network structures.

This article discusses the key factors explaining states' efforts to enhance their cyber capacity. The findings from the study suggest that a country's science and technical knowledge is the most robust explanation for that state's cyber capacity level.

Mihaela, C. L. (2020). Current security threats in the national and international context. Accounting & Management Information Systems / Contabilitate Si Informatica de Gestiune, 19(2), 351–378. https://doi.org/10.24818/jamis.2020.02007

This journal article discusses the primary security threats on a national and international level. The various challenges are reviewed using a qualitative method, applying critical observations on emerging technologies' impact on the world.

de Bruijn, H., & Janssen, M. (2017). Building cybersecurity awareness: The need for evidence-based framing strategies. Government Information Quarterly, 34(1), 1–7. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.giq.2017.02.007

This journal article discusses how cybersecurity is a global phenomenon representing a complex socio-technical challenge for governments, but requiring the involvement of individuals. Evidence-based framing strategies which can help to increase societal and political awareness of cybersecurity and put the issues in perspective are explored.

Scala, N. M., Reilly, A. C., Goethals, P. L., & Cukier, M. (2019). Risk and the five hard problems of cybersecurity. Risk Analysis: An International Journal, 39(10), 2119–2126.

This journal article discusses the Five Hard Problems (5HP): (1) scalability and composability; (2) policy‐governed secure collaboration; (3) security‐metrics–driven evaluation, design, development, and deployment; (4) resilient architectures; and (5) understanding and accounting for human behavior. The need to factor each of these into practice and research is emphasized.

Solansky, S. T., & Beck, T. (2021). Interorganizational information sharing: collaboration during cybersecurity threats. Public Administration Quarterly, 45(1), 105–122. https://doi.org/10.37808/paq.45.1.5

Information sharing is examined to determine if the willingness to share information relates to the willingness to collaborate in inter-organizational actions used to address cybersecurity threats. The role of information sharing for enhancing integrative, collaborative action in a time where promoting this type of action is imperative to cybersecurity initiatives is discussed.

Pedreira, V., Barros, D., & Pinto, P. (2021). A review of attacks, vulnerabilities, and defenses in industry 4.0 with new challenges on data sovereignty ahead. Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 21(15). https://doi.org/10.3390/s21155189

This journal article describes the cybersecurity impacts on the progress of Industry 4.0 implementations and their interactions with other technologies. These implementations require constant surveillance, and the authors emphasize the importance of being able to forecast cybersecurity-related challenges and trends to prevent and mitigate these impacts.
