*MISQE and SIM Academic Workshop*

In Preparation for the December 2024 MISQE Special Issue on

*MANAGING CYBERSECURITY TO ADDRESS INCREASING DIGITAL RISK*

Sponsored by: The Society for Information Management and *MIS Quarterly
Executive*

*Location:* ICIS 2023 pre-conference Workshop in Hyderabad, India

*Date:* Saturday, December 9, 2023



*OVERVIEW*

The digital transformation of organizations continues to intensify bringing
great benefits. However, accompanying the proliferation of technology in
organizations has been a surge in cybersecurity and other forms of digital
risk. Novel research is needed to further identify these risks and
illuminate how these risks can be mitigated.

This MISQE Special Issue seeks to publish practice-based research on the
management of cybersecurity and other digital risks that will be
translatable to organizational efforts. We encourage academic researchers,
IT industry security leaders, and collaborations between academic leaders
and practice-based leaders to address the challenges of Digital Risk,
Cybersecurity, and Information Privacy.

Authors should submit abstracts of research papers to the workshop to gain
feedback and suggestions prior to a full paper submission to MISQE. *(Note:
If you anticipate that travel to India may be a problem for you, we might
make alternative arrangements – just let us know.) *Practitioner abstracts
and joint academic/practitioner abstracts are welcome. Examples of possible
research topics are presented in the following section, though other topics
can also be considered.
