Abstract

This chapter examines the issue of cybersecurity, which can be defined as the practice of protecting information networks, devices, and data from unauthorized access or criminal use. It is done with the goal of ensuring confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information maintained by an organization. In this chapter, we provide a deeper understanding of cyberspace and the impact that business-related cybercrime can have on different types of organizations. We then present the cyber incident response planning (CIRP) guide as a solution for enterprises to prepare for cybercrime incidents. Special attention is given to small and medium-sized enterprises because they often lack the financial resources, experience, and staff to deal with cybersecurity threats. This is followed by a section that presents factors to stimulate organizational adaptation of CIRP. The final discussion section concludes with a look at the future.
