  • More about Cybercomplexity: A Macroscopic View of Cybersecurity Risk


This book tackles the problem of complexity within IT environments and proposes a simple model of cybercomplexity based on Shannon entropy to address cybersecurity risk on an enterprise scale.

Format: Hardback
Length: 167 pages
Publication date: 22 July 2022
Publisher: Springer International Publishing AG


This book delves into the intricate realm of complexity within IT environments, specifically addressing the issue of Cybercomplexity, which is widely acknowledged as a primary factor contributing to cybersecurity risks. It begins by defining complexity and streamlining its analysis through the adoption of a probabilistic approach to security risk management. Subsequently, the book presents a straightforward model of cybercomplexity, rooted in Shannon entropy, a fundamental concept in information theory. From this model, the primary drivers of cybercomplexity emerge, shedding light on the scale-dependence of cybersecurity risk and underscoring the necessity of implementing macroscopic security controls to effectively manage such risks on an enterprise scale. Furthermore, the book explores the significant operational implications of cybercomplexity, offering both a theoretical framework and practical guidance for addressing this complex problem in cybersecurity risk management.
