Introduction: The frequency and complexity of cyber assaults have grown in recent years. Consequently, organisations have increased their expenditures in more robust infrastructure to protect themselves from these cyber assaults. These organisations’ assets, data, and reputations are at risk due to rapidly increasing cybercrimes. However, complete protection from these many and ever-changing threats is very challenging as a result. To deal with them, companies are taking steps to reduce risks and limit company losses in their occurrence.

Purpose: Progressively, the insurance sector organisations are including digital protection as a component of the board’s general danger technique. Protection enterprises, then again, depend on accurately expecting risks, while a significant number of them depend on normalised approaches. Because of the exceptional attributes of the digital assaults, transporters now and again depend on subjective strategies dependent on master decisions. There is an unmistakeable absence of observational information on digital protection, specifically subjective examinations planning to comprehend and depict necessities, impediments, and cycles applicable for digital protection.

Methodology: There are various unanswered inquiries and worries about the oversight and legitimate and administrative assessment of network safety weaknesses in the protection business. In the wake-up of looking over all these worries and issues, steps to alleviate them are laid out after an extensive literature survey and secondary data sources. In this study, the authors have principally viewed the executive parts of the associations as the danger. While considering network protection, their insight of needs was taken as one among a few dangerous treatment systems, just as the necessities of the organisations’ protection in assessing the danger level of likely customers.

Findings: This section analyses past research in network safety and information security in the protection market. The danger of the executives’ strategies, the numerical models, and the forecasts of digital occassions are illustrated in this section. Lastly, the future headings are likewise expressed momentarily.

Practical implications: This review might be valuable for additional examination and logical discussion, yet additionally for down-to-earth applications. Moreover, it could be gainful to organisations as a supportive instrument for better agreement on what digital protection is and how to get ready to take on network safety and information security procedures in the association.

Significance: These associations’ resources, information, and notoriety are in danger because of quickly expanding cybercrimes. Cybercriminals are utilising more refined approaches to start digital assaults. Digital protection was anticipated to affect security conduct before any proof was gathered. Progressively, organisations are including digital protection as a feature of their general danger to the executive system. Because of the exceptional attributes of the digital assaults, transporters as often as possible depend on subjective methods dependent on master decisions. Thus, this space of network safety and information security is vital uniquely in the protection market.

With recent increases in cybersecurity incidents, it is imperative to supplement current accounting curriculum, equip accounting graduates with sufficient knowledge and skills to assess cybersecurity risk, and learn about controls to mitigate such risks. In this chapter, the authors describe 10 teaching modules, supported by 10 professionally produced video series. The authors developed these videos for educating students on cybersecurity and the videos are available free to instructors from other institutions who wish to use them. The videos are filled with insights and advice from our two experts – one a former hacker and the other an experienced cybersecurity professional. This dialogue between two different sides provides a rich discussion that leads to answering many questions that people often have about cybersecurity. Further, in Exhibit 1, this chapter offers a framework for characterizing and analyzing some recent publicized data-breach cases, which can supplement discussion on cybersecurity modules. Instructors can add more cases to this source overtime. Finally, the authors share the analysis of feedback from students who went through the series. The results suggest that the students show interest in the topic, and videos helped them better understand the complexity of cybersecurity risk and controls.

Cyber threats present constantly evolving and unique challenges to national security professionals at all levels of government. Public and private sector entities also face a constant stream of cyberattacks through varied methods by actors with myriad motivations. These threats are not expected to diminish in the near future. As a result, homeland security and national security professionals at all levels of government must understand the unique motivations and capabilities of malicious cyber actors in order to better protect against and respond to cyberattacks. This chapter outlines the most common cyberattacks; explains the motivations behind these attacks; and describes the federal, state, and local efforts to address these threats.

Purpose: Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are the most significant contributors to maximum employment generation, the gross domestic product (GDP) of many countries, and the overall global economy. It is also evident that cyber threats are becoming a big challenge for SMEs, which is directly impacting global economy.

Methodology: Existing research inputs were accessed to understand current cyber threats for SMEs and their cybersecurity posture. Additionally, this research has collected the latest insights by taking direct inputs from SMEs and conducting a well-designed research survey. It has provided a few direct inputs to designing solutions for the SME segment. For analysis and recommendations, cybersecurity best practices and core cybersecurity concepts are considered at the centre of the solution.

Findings: Implementing existing cybersecurity standards or frameworks is not easy for SMEs, as they generally have limited resources and different priorities for their business when it comes to the implementation of any cybersecurity controls. Currently, many cybersecurity standards are not able to support the implementation of business domain-specific controls.

Practical implications: Along with the research findings shared in this chapter, as a resolution to the problems faced by SMEs, the authors will propose a new framework as a solution. This framework is designed using core concepts of cybersecurity such as confidentiality, integrity, and availability (CIA triad) as well as defence in depth (DiD) mechanisms in each layer of organisation. The authors will also share a high-level idea about how reliable artificial intelligence-based software can help identify recommended controls for particular SMEs.
