TY - JOUR T1 - Securing Cyberspace: Towards an Agenda for Research and Practice JF - Technology Innovation Management Review Y1 - 2015 A1 - Renaud Levesque A1 - D’Arcy Walsh A1 - David Whyte KW - Canada KW - challenges KW - countermeasures KW - cyber security KW - cybersafety KW - cybersecurity KW - cyberspace KW - detection KW - Internet of Things KW - leadership KW - mitigation KW - research KW - security AB - In this article, we seek to identify the important challenges preventing security in cyberspace and to identify the key questions that nations should set out to answer to play a leading role in securing cyberspace. An important assertion is that the challenge of securing cyberspace transcends the abilities of any single entity and requires a radical shift in our approach in how: i) research is conducted, ii) cybersecurity researchers are educated, iii) new defendable systems are developed, and iv) effective defensive countermeasures are deployed. Our response draws upon extensive source material and our personal experiences as cybersecurity professionals contributing to the establishment of the VENUS Cybersecurity Corporation, a not-for-profit corporation that aims to make Canada a global leader in cybersecurity. We view the challenge to be global and transdisciplinary in nature and this article to be of relevance world-wide to senior decision makers, policy makers, managers, educators, strategists, futurists, scientists, technologists, and others interested in shaping the online world of the future.

The main focus of his research is on the development of network-based behavioural analysis techniques for the detection of rapidly propagating malware. ER - TY - JOUR T1 - The Online World of the Future: Safe, Productive, and Creative JF - Technology Innovation Management Review Y1 - 2014 A1 - Tony Bailetti A1 - Renaud Levesque A1 - D’Arcy Walsh KW - bisociation KW - cybersecurity KW - excludability KW - future vision KW - Industrial Internet KW - Internet KW - Internet of Everything KW - Internet of Things KW - online KW - productivity KW - rivalry KW - safety KW - security AB - A safer online world is required to attain higher levels of productivity and creativity. We offer a view of a future state of the online world that places safety, productivity, and creativity above all else. The online world envisaged for 2030 is safe (i.e., users communicate with accuracy and enduring confidence), productive (i.e., users make timely decisions that have an ongoing global effect), and creative (i.e., users can connect seemingly unrelated information online). The proposed view differs from other views of the future online world that are anchored around technology solutions, confrontation, deception, and personal or commercial gain. The following seven conditions characterize the proposed view of the online world: i) global-scale autonomous learning systems; ii) humans co-working with machines; iii) human factors that are authentic and transferrable; iv) global scale whole-brain communities; v) foundational knowledge that is authentic and transferrable; vi) timely productive communication; and vii) continuous technological adaptation. These conditions are expected to enable new social-behavioural, socio-technical, and organizational interaction models.
