Abstract

Cybersecurity is now critically important in an increasingly digitized and connected world. In addition to required digital security, individuals and organisations pursue multiple other objectives under binding resource constraints. Understanding how they make decisions in the face of these trade-offs is important for both research and teaching purposes. Games can create effective and exciting learning environments and also provide an immersive and experiment-based research setting to understand decision-making. We present a novel tabletop board game which sets cybersecurity in a broader organisational context and emulates real life business decisions. It can be used as a powerful research tool to understand decision-making about cybersecurity in a resource-constrained and uncertain environment. It is also a useful interdisciplinary educational tool, integrating concepts from cybersecurity, business development, and innovation management in gameplay.

威胁与权衡:网络安全和创新决策的启动模拟游戏
在一个日益数字化和互联的世界中,网络安全至关重要。除了所需的数字安全之外,个人和组织还在受约束的资源约束下追求其他多个目标。了解他们如何在面对这些权衡时做出决定,对于研究和教学目的都很重要。游戏能够创造有效且令人兴奋的学习环境,同时也能够提供一种沉浸式且基于实验的研究环境去理解决策。我们提出了一个新颖的桌面游戏,将网络安全设置在更广泛的组织背景下,并模拟现实生活中的商业决策。它可以作为一种强大的研究工具来理解资源受限和不确定环境下的网络安全决策。它也是一个有用的跨学科教育工具,将网络安全、商业发展和创新管理的概念整合到游戏中。

期刊介绍: The interdisciplinary interfaces of Information Systems (IS) are fast emerging as defining areas of research and development in IS. These developments are largely due to the transformation of Information Technology (IT) towards networked worlds and its effects on global communications and economies. While these developments are shaping the way information is used in all forms of human enterprise, they are also setting the tone and pace of information systems of the future. The major advances in IT such as client/server systems, the Internet and the desktop/multimedia computing revolution, for example, have led to numerous important vistas of research and development with considerable practical impact and academic significance. While the industry seeks to develop high performance IS/IT solutions to a variety of contemporary information support needs, academia looks to extend the reach of IS technology into new application domains. Information Systems Frontiers (ISF) aims to provide a common forum of dissemination of frontline industrial developments of substantial academic value and pioneering academic research of significant practical impact.
