Dear Colleagues We seek high quality empirical and conceptual research papers that fit with the theme of Strengthening Critical Infrastructure Resilience against Cybersecurity Risks for a special issue of Organisational Cybersecurity Journal: Practice, Process and People: https://www.emeraldgrouppublishing.com/journal/ocj/special-issue-strengtheni... Strengthening Critical Infrastructure Resilience against Cybersecurity Risks Guest Editors: Michael Lane, University of Southern Queensland | michael.Lane@usq.edu.aumailto:michael.Lane@usq.edu.au ; Sigi Goode, Australian National University | sigi.goode@anu.edu.aumailto:sigi.goode@anu.edu.au 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 TIMELINE Submissions Due October 30, 2021 Round 1 Reviews January 10, 2022 Revised Submissions April 05, 2022 Final Decision May 15, 2022 Final Manuscript Special Issue Published June 20, 2022 September 2022 Journal website: https://www.emeraldgrouppublishing.com/journal/ocj https://www.emeraldgrouppublishing.com/journal/ocj Paper Submission website: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ocj
