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.
Cyberpsychology: Navigating the Intersection of Technology and Human Behaviour for Risk Professionals
Cyberpsychology examines the psychological processes influencing human behaviour in digital environments, offering valuable insights for risk professionals. It addresses cognitive biases, social engineering, cybercrime, burnout, technostress, and emerging technologies like AI and VR. By integrating these principles, organisations can anticipate threats, enhance cybersecurity strategies, and foster resilience in the digital age.
