Cherie Courseault Trumbach, Dinah M. Payne, Kenneth R. Walsh · Industry and Higher Education · 2022
Cybersecurity threats have been intensifying and becoming more diverse. Social engineering can enable or enhance these technical attacks. This interplay between technical attacks and social engineering, when used, makes every employee, manager and board member a part of the security infrastructure of an organization. As such, it is incumbent upon systems of higher education to educate both information technologists and organizational leaders on the broader issues: a multidisciplinary approach is needed. This article contributes to the literature by providing a comparison of industry-identified needs to protect against cybersecurity threats and what should be offered by business school academic programs.
