Abstract

The links between cybersecurity and economics are multiple and complex, offering topics of discussion at the user, organisational, national, and international levels. The literature covering the overlap of these two fields is limited, and there is a need to cast light on how decisions are taken, how to incentivise the prioritisation of cybersecurity, and how big is the economic incentives behind the protection of digitalised societies. Approaches to the project might involve empirical or theoretical approaches, for example game theory, surveys, interviews, statistical analysis, etc.
