Understanding the Talent Management Intricacies of Remote Cybersecurity Teams in Covid-19 Induced Telework Organizational Ecosystems

Abstract

Abstract The unanticipated disruption triggered by Coronavirus, also known as COVID-19, has accelerated the shift to virtual workplace ecosystems for employees in the government, business, and the military. The accelerated move to whole organization telework has also created new complex challenges around managing cybersecurity risks. Complex business and governmental organizational ecosystems have several significant and critical job tasks around cybersecurity. These roles have the involved responsibility of functioning as effective teams to handle incident responses, intrusion evaluations, crisis management, crisis communications, forensic data examinations, malware analyzations, firewall assessments, penetration testing, disaster recovery, emergency response planning, risk management, human factor analyzation, training assessment, and active network monitoring. This qualitative research study explores the nuances of employee engagement, organizational development, and the management of virtual and remote cybersecurity teams in ways that enhance complex business and organizational ecosystems in the world of professional practice.
