EXTENDED Submission Deadline: December 31, 2020.

It is our pleasure to invite you to submit a chapter for inclusion in the ‘Advances in Cybersecurity Management’ book to be published by Springer. The submission deadline is December 31, 2020. The submitted chapter should have 12-15 pages and include sufficient details to be useful for cybersecurity managers and readers with cybersecurity management knowledge ranging from basic to the most advanced. The book is divided into six main areas, described below, although we welcome other areas as suggested by authors. When emailing your draft chapter, please indicate the area in which your chapter fits, and email it to the Editor in charge of that area. Corresponding authors will receive a free copy of the book from Springer.

This book concentrates on a wide range of advances related to Cybersecurity Management which include, among others, Management Techniques in Security, Information Technology Risk Management, Impact of Technologies and Techniques on Security Management, Regulatory Techniques and Issues, International Issues related to Security Management, IT Compliance Management, Security Policy Management, IT Vendor Risk Management, Cyber Security Incident Response, Compliance Requirements for Cyber Security, Information Continuity Management, and Assets Classification and Control.


Submission guidelines:

Sub-subsection: 1) 2) 3) … (Heading 3 on Microsoft Word)

3. Do not number the Abstract

4. Only Microsoft Word and Latex formats are accepted by the publisher. If you use Latex for the final version of the chapter, Springer needs a .pdf version too.

8. When the draft book is ready, Springer will send you chapter proof for proofreading. Please make sure you proof read your chapter as soon as you can to avoid delaying the publication of the book.
