Content
Organizing cyber security is about how to deal with a digital crisis an, more important, how to prevent one from happening. Organizing cyber security is divided in cyber security governance, -management and -crisismanagement. Cyber security governance is about the organisation and management of (the access to) valuable digital assets within and in between organisations. It's the first 'safety valve' dealing with organisational and managerial questions that need to be adressed in preventing digital crisis from happening. Cyber security management concerns the actual management of safety- and security measures that organise the (access to) valuable digital assets. It's the second 'safety valve' in preventing digital crisis from happening. Cyber security crisismanagement finally is about how to deal with a digital crisis when the 'safety valves' didn't prevent one from happening.
