This book discusses digital risk governance in a global context and provides practical solutions for sound digital policy. From cyber-attacks to the mechanisms of digital technical management on a global scale, this book identifies the fundamental areas of digital vulnerability for both states and businesses and outlines the means of securing them. Written with the digital security needs of the public and private sectors in mind, chapters provide approachable guidance on navigating national digital strategies for public and corporate cyber-risks, identifying mechanisms for embedding digital security over time, protecting both personal and strategic economic data, adapting regulations to digital challenges, and leveraging innovation and multilateralism for digital security. Providing a comprehensive view of digital risk mechanisms for multiple stakeholders, this volume will be useful for professionals and practitioners in technology governance, digital management, IS/risk management, digital security, and internet policy.
