ABSTRACT

Much has been written regarding the importance of how companies deal with cyber threats. While most organizations have focused on the technical ramifications of how to avoid being compromised, few have invested in how senior management needs to make security a priority. This chapter discusses the salient issues that executives must address and how to develop a strategy to deal with the various types of cyber attack that could devastate the reputation and revenues of any business or organization. The response to the cyber dilemma requires evolving institutional behavior patterns using organizational learning concepts.
