Cyber Risks: Systematic Literature Analysis

This systematic literature review focuses on the digitalization theme and its associated risks, particularly cyber risks. Conducted through a comprehensive exploration of the Scopus database over two decades, employing keywords such as "digitalization," "digitization," and "digital risks," this research aimed to understand the evolution of terminology and scholarly discourse in this domain. The investigation initially targeted "digital risks" but shifted towards keywords like "cyber risks," "cybersecurity," and "cyber resilience" to reflect the changing landscape. The review traces the origins of the often-employed keyword "industry 4.0" and its impact on research interests, prompting a focus on more recent publications due to the rapid pace of development in the field.

Defining Cyber Risk

Rapid digitization of the economy and social relations is the main reason why the issues of cyber risk, cyber threats and cybersecurity are continually gaining importance. Despite the increase in the number of research papers in these areas, scholarly articles defining cyber risk are relatively scarce. Moreover, the uniform broadly accepted definition of cyber risk has not been adopted yet, probably due to the interdisciplinary nature of this concept and the dynamics of its change. The paper contributes to the literature on the cyber risk, cybersecurity and cyber risk management.

Cyber Risk and Cybersecurity: a Systematic Review of Data Availability

Cybercrime is estimated to have cost the global economy just under USD 1 trillion in 2020, indicating an increase of more than 50% since 2018. With the average cyber insurance claim rising from USD 145,000 in 2019 to USD 359,000 in 2020, there is a growing necessity for better cyber information sources, standardised databases, mandatory reporting and public awareness. This research analyses the extant academic and industry literature on cybersecurity and cyber risk management with a particular focus on data availability.

Effective Risk Reporting

An important element of risk management is related to risk reporting i.e., how do you convey the results of the risk management process to management.
Starting with the end of the sentence “to management” means the reporting must be defined in such a way and with such content that management finds this relevant and valuable.

Dangerous Data

Over the years, I have advocated vigorously for the use of facts and data when analysing and assessing risks, uncertainties and levers. I fully stand by this and will continue advocating for using data as well as I firmly believe there really is no such thing as “qualitative analysis”.

Managing Legal Risks

The other day, I had a chat with a risk management consulting colleague who was working with and focusing on legal risks. He had trouble doing this well as he found that people with a legal background:
• Have limited or no insights into statistics
• Rarely, if ever, work with a spreadsheet
• Find it hard to quantify risks and opportunities

Leverage your ERM as a powerful Decision Tool

Many companies and organisations have an Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) program where they identify, evaluate and decide on action to take on key risks to the company/organisation. For some this is a very systematic and well documented approach using scientific methodologies etc. – for others it is a collection of managerial perceptions. In most all process, some decisions are taken, and the organisation believes it executes well on ERM.
