IT security preparedness exercises allow for practical collaborative training, which in turn leads to improved response capabilities to information security incidents for an organization. However, such exercises are not commonly performed in the electric power industry. We have observed a tabletop exercise as performed by three organizations with the aim of understanding challenges of performin...
This research in progress investigates the antecedents of effective Information Security (IS) of an organization following an extreme event. The motivation for this research is the rife of information security incidents, which pose increasing risks to business continuity especially in the aftermath of an extreme event when organizations may lack sufficient resources to effectively safeguard the...
The Disaster Information Management Research Center (DIMRC) develops and provides access to health information resources and technology for disaster preparedness, response, and recovery.
