Most prior Information Systems research has focused on threats to
organizations and individuals. However, infrastructure, as the
operational intersection that joins these actors together, has
received comparatively little attention. In many cases, this
infrastructure was installed or constructed decades ago, and their
vulnerabilities remain hidden. These vulnerabilities are likely to
affect critical infrastructure in a range of industries, including
transportation, energy networks, hazardous and chemical materials
management, communications networks, and wider supply chains.
Further, while it was traditionally believed that only state
actors would possess the resources and incentives to successfully
target critical infrastructure, today's threat field has broadened
and is more likely to comprise terrorist groups, industrial spies,
organized crime groups, and hackers.
Research is needed into how to identify, manage and protect such
vulnerabilities, techniques for secure design of infrastructure
assets, and insight into perpetrator motives and behaviors for
such attacks. This Special Issue seeks empirical and conceptual
research papers that focus on the following topics, among others:
* Approaches to detecting infrastructure threats and
vulnerabilities
* Behavioral security threats to next generation infrastructural
communications and networking, including 5G and beyond
* Detecting, mitigating and preventing insider sabotage, including
behavioral analyses of motives, attitudes, activities and planning
* Threat mitigation and control effects of infrastructure
investment, maintenance, review and planning activities
* Critical assessment of cybersecurity regulatory frameworks and
standards to ensure infrastructure security and resilience
Papers should focus on behavioral aspects of threats to critical
infrastructure - general cybersecurity work is not appropriate for
this special issue. We welcome cross-disciplinary work
