Abstract

International and regulatory developments push cybersecurity into the boardroom. However, strategic group decision-making approach akin to a management board process need to be developed. We used a scientifically grounded cyber-risk management collaborative game in our research. Since not all board members have a solid background in technology and security, we followed the natural user interface design theory to create a management dashboard serious game that fosters an understandable and collaborative setting for managing and educating on cyber-risks. The results show that groups perform significantly better in terms of financial performance and risk profile than individuals. Moreover, the collaborative game allowed executives and business leaders to learn about cyber-risk management issues, thus improving their results. Our future work should focus more on emerging and unpredictable adversarial behavior. Our research has significant implications for security awareness and education in high-level collaborative decision-making bodies.
