Resiliency under Strategic Foresight: The effects of Cybersecurity Management and Enterprise Risk Management Alignment

Rethinking organisations' risk resiliency against cyber risks has been found both successful and lacking because it is more challenging when organisations mirror past siloed approaches. In pursuit of effectiveness and resiliency, this paper examines the antecedents of Cybersecurity Management (CsM) to explore how siloed risk controls influence business effectiveness. At the same time, it explores the additional strengths in enhancing CsM through alignment with Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) to ensure that handling risk is proactively, strategically, and comprehensively managed. To explore the problem, this research commenced by considering both secondary and primary qualitative data to determine the current state of strategic foresight of organisations. The authors found evidence of a granular legacy, stranded in different security domains and siloed strategic approaches.
