Intellectual structure of cybersecurity research in enterprise information systems
Nitin Kumar Singh, Venkataraghavan Krishnaswamy, Zuopeng Zhang · Enterprise Information Systems · 2022
Enterprises aspire for ongoing and effective information systems security. Cybersecurity frameworks ensure the availability, confidentiality, and integrity of information. Inspired by the omnipresent challenges and ever-increasing spending by enterprises, we identify the state of research on cybersecurity in enterprises. We employ citation, co-citation, centrality, and citation-path analysis to uncover its intellectual core. Our study reveals five core themes of cybersecurity research: (a) artificial intelligence in cybersecurity, (b) grids, networks, and platform security, (c) algorithms & methods, (d) optimisation & modelling, and (e) cybersecurity management. We discuss the implications for EIS and opportunities for research in each of these themes.
