Cyber security management and e-government

Abstract

With the rapid growth of Information Technology, organisations are taking extra precautions when it comes to protecting information. In the complex interconnected business world, the common practice of deploying company-wide security solutions (e.g., anti-virus software and firewalls) is only the very first step of cyber security management. Adding to this first layer of security defence, two business-oriented security solutions are included in this paper: global partnership and proactive participation. In addition, an evolutionary process of learning to enhance the three layers of cyber security management is recommended to be done continuously. In order to manage these three layers of cyber security economically and effectively, an intranet-based framework of cyber security knowledge repositories based on the 80/20 rule is also proposed
