Managing Cyber Security Risks and Cyber Hygiene in Organizations: Improving Cyber Resilience

Abstract

The rate and volume of cyber attacks increases every year, causing additional costs to organizations. Especially in recent years, new generation cyber attacks against government organizations, private companies and service providers have become increasingly complex with the use of artificial intelligence tools. Since the new generation of cyber attacks are much more complex than the previous ones, corporate managers and employees lack expertise and awareness in taking countermeasures. Studies are needed to support organizations in order to increase cyber resilience in this area. This chapter focuses on cybersecurity risk management and individual cyber hygiene practices as a solution to cyber attacks. Well-developed cybersecurity risk management and strong cyber hygiene behaviors will make it easier for organizations to take measures against advanced cyber attacks. It will also increase the cyber resilience of organizations and provide a line of defense against potential threats.
