Abstract:
Cyberspace has come to be the ecosystem for all vital processes in our global economy, as well as for our social lives. While this ecosystem has brought many positive developments, at the same time it also carries a wide variety of risks. This model provides a comprehensive overview of the different types of harm that may arise from cyber security incidents, both in cyberspace itself and in the offline world. It also shows that harm is sometimes induced intentionally by actors who wilfully abuse vulnerabilities, but may also arise accidentally through technical or human errors. Cyber-induced crises have particular characteristics that make them hard to grapple with, for instance the fact that they can be induced remotely, from the other side of the globe, and instantaneously at multiple locations. Finally, the borderless nature of cyberspace leads to potential large-scale geographical spread for cyber crises. We present a typology of different types of cyber crises, building on the cyber harm model. The research ends with a discussion of the key challenges for leadership in cyber crises: sense-making, meaning-making, decision-making, termination and learning.
