Abstract

This chapter presents the approach, developed in the framework of the ECHO project, for the design of collaborative networked organisation focused on the cybersecurity domain. The research is focused on identifying the steps to support optimal decision making in defining processes and structures needed for the network governance and management. The approach links Enterprise Architecture model, COBIT framework and network analysis aiming to define a standard and comprehensive framework for analysis of needs and objectives, propose alternatives and select the most suitable one to be further designed for resilient governance and management of the networked organisation.

Notes

  1. 1.

    The idea for mapping EA views and COBIT framework is given according to Ghaznavi-Zadeh [12].

  2. 2.

    In COBIT 5 the seven components were called “enablers”.

  3. 3.

    Key processes in this field are (1) partnership development (new partner acceptance), (2) service provision and SLA development, (3) internal organizational development by strategic planning and change management.
