Abstract

Abstract The article studies cybersecurity projects from the perspective of social systems theory. Measures taken to increase cybersecurity are aimed at the robustness and resilience of specific systemic entities in society. We argue that this does not necessarily mean that systems in which these entities are embedded become more robust or resilient. The article investigates the objectives of 20 projects funded by different public organizations to increase cybersecurity of critical infrastructures. The findings show that robustness and resilience are addressed by these projects on different layers of systems in society, without a clear picture of how they are supposed to fit together in a wider effort to protect society against disruption. The detailed analysis of the different facets of robustness and resilience addressed in cybersecurity projects paves the way for a better understanding of this problem. The research shows how organizations may avoid the negative consequences of measures to secure specific systemic entities in society in the case of critical infrastructures, other application scenarios, and digital innovation in general.
稳健性和弹性的分层结构:来自中欧关键基础设施网络安全项目的证据
摘要本文从社会系统理论的角度对网络安全项目进行研究。为提高网络安全而采取的措施旨在增强社会中特定系统实体的稳健性和弹性。我们认为,这并不一定意味着嵌入这些实体的系统变得更健壮或更有弹性。本文调查了由不同公共组织资助的20个项目的目标,以提高关键基础设施的网络安全。研究结果表明,这些项目在社会系统的不同层面上解决了稳健性和弹性问题,但没有明确说明它们应该如何在更广泛的努力中融合在一起,以保护社会免受破坏。对网络安全项目中健壮性和弹性的不同方面的详细分析,为更好地理解这一问题铺平了道路。该研究表明,在关键基础设施、其他应用场景和一般数字创新的情况下,组织如何避免为保护社会中特定系统实体而采取的措施的负面后果。
