Abstract

Some of the tasks of organizations in the digital age include information formation, coding and increasing value, data mining, and encoding information to make it accessible to others. As disruptive technology permeates all aspects of social life, new threats and vulnerabilities emerge. Cyber threats and cyber-security incidents may affect organizations, whether public or private, individuals, and all social network actors. The idea of a system that must defend against all possible attacks has given rise to the cyber resilience phenomenon. In public organizations, cyber resilience is obtained in various ways such as storing private classified data assets and records on independent backup platforms. Regardless of whether one platform is in danger, the other can provide a copy of missing or maliciously encrypted data immediately. Given the preceding discussion, this chapter focuses on agility, which is now regarded as a core competency in organizations in terms of cyber management, cyber resilience, knowledge management, and artificial intelligence in the cyber cosmos.

Cyber Threats And Cyber Security

The cyberspace as phenomenon, which we used to only see in science fiction movies and try to understand from books on beyond our dreams, has quickly entered our personal and social lives. The cyberspace and its physical, logical, and social components enable humans to communicate, collaborate, and control in previously unimaginable ways. As the physical and virtual worlds have become inseparable, humans have shifted many aspects of their lives to the online worlds. Humans are given excellent opportunities in cyberspace to realize their full potential. The free flow of information is reliant on disruptive technologies that freely connects human opinions and knowledge. This freedom necessitates trust. Humans want to be in a safe virtual ecosystem. Organizations are seen as living organisms as well. To keep up with future technological, social, and logical network changes, management system must also evolve. The ability to understand the internal and external balances of the organization in all of its dimensions and to follow the digital era is related to management in the cyberspace. Management is defined as the global coordination of human actions in domestic, social, political, and other contexts, as well as in organizations (Kaehler & Grundei, 2018). As settled, orderly structured public organizations try to adapt to the cyberspace, things become more complicated on the verge of chaos.
