In 2021, the author had the opportunity to do all this for an organization that trains civil service employees. The central question of his research was how to integrate Hofstede’s dimensions concerning managerial communication into an environment based on other cultural and ethical foundations. The quantitative analysis employed a questionnaire consisting of closed and open-ended questions. Staff and students of the Faculty of Law Enforcement, University of Public Service, responded to the questionnaire. The responses were processed using statistical tests suitable for confirming or refuting a hypothesis. The new research findings indicate that it is worth considering how the six dimensions set up by Hofstede could improve law enforcement if incorporated into leadership awareness during leadership training.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">61</style></section></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>27</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Albena Popova</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Airport Security Management System’ Model</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">IT4Sec Reports</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">airport</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">management</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">model</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">security</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">system</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2021</style></year></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">140</style></number><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;The airport is a complex system comprising various subsystems, one of which is designed to ensure the safety and security of the carriage of passengers and cargo by air. The concentration in the area of the airport of a large number of people, aircraft, cargo, complex and expensive information, communication and navigation systems and a number of other assets make it an attractive target for organized criminal groups and terrorist organizations. Countering threats to the airport security requires a systematic approach and compliance with a number of international and national regulations. All these features require the creation and implementation of an airport security management system that is resilient to threats and at the same time adaptable to changes in the security environment. The material presents the results of a study aimed at developing and validating a model of airport security management system with a higher level of efficiency and offering a solution to the main weaknesses of the currently applied similar system.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Velizar Shalamanov</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vassil Sabinski</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Trayan Georgiev</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Optimization of the Chief Information Officer Function in Large Organizations</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Information &amp; Security: An International Journal</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">CIO</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Collaborative Network Organizations</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ECHO project</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">governance</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">IT capabilities</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">IT services</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">management</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Optimization</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2020</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2020</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">46</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">13-26</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The analysis of the process of establishing Chief Information Officer Function in the Bulgarian Ministry of Defence in 2000 and in North Atlantic Treaty Organization in 2020 is used to identify the critical elements for success of the change management process and full realization of the strategic benefits for the organization. Differentiation between the governance of IT and management of capabilities and services for the federation of business organizations is considered as a framework to develop and optimize the CIO function in relation to service provision. The approach proposed in this article combines the COBIT framework with the Analytic Hierarchy Process method for decision making and architectural design and business process optimization to provide a sound basis for consensus in the development of the CIO function. The approach is tested in instituting the CIO function in the Institute of Information and Communication Technologies of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (a federation of more than 40 entities) and its implementation for national and EU level is then defined as a roadmap. Core elements of the approach are tested in the framework of the ECHO project under H2020 for development of a governance model of the European cyber security collaborative trusted net-work organization.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">13</style></section></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>47</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Velizar Shalamanov</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Georgi Penchev</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Methodology for Organizational Design of Cyber Research Networks</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">DIGILIENCE 2019</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">cyber security</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Enterprise Architecture</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">governance</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">IT security</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">management</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">modeling</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">network analysis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">simulation</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2019</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2-4 October</style></date></pub-dates></dates><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sofia, Bulgaria</style></pub-location><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;The paper presents possible approaches for building a new network organization in the area of cybersecurity.

Several classifications of metrics are discussed focusing on the functions of different levels of security management. For the most part, this work examines the pros and cons of common metrics for measuring IT security and provides guidelines for creating own metrics. ‘Own metrics,’ adapted to the corporate environment, are those which security managers have to create and use for the purpose of effective management.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dana Procházková</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Natural Disasters’ Management and Detection of Priority Problems for Future Research</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Information &amp; Security: An International Journal</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Disaster Management</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Human System</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">management</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Natural Disasters</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">safety</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">security</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2013</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2013</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">29</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">127-144 </style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Natural disasters threaten human society from time immemorial. They are caused by processes in the Earth core and Earth surface, or in the atmosphere, and by processes in the vicinity of the Planet. Various phenomena in the human system occur as a result of its own development or under the impact of other processes. This research was targeted at natural disasters such as avalanches, hot wet summer days, drought, dams rupture, floods, tsunamis, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides, rocks tumbling down, forest fires, wind storms, tornadoes, excessive rain or snow falls, and gas erosions from the core. It identifies deficits at natural disaster management from the viewpoint of the safe community concept that has been promoted by the EU since 2004.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">127</style></section></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>27</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Todor Tagarev</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Concept for Strategic Defence Managenment</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">IT4Sec Reports</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">assessment</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">audit</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">capability development</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">capability requirements review</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">command and control</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">control</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Defence governance</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">defence policy review</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">IT4Sec reports</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Leadership</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">management</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">policy guidance</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">SDR</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2010</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">February 2010</style></date></pub-dates></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">46</style></number><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Institute of Information and Communication Technologies</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sofia</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">46</style></volume><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">IT4Sec Reports 46 presents a concept for strategic defence management, i.e. for maintaining the alignment among defence objectives, strategies and tools in a changing force development environment, created for Bulgaria’s Ministry of Defence.
