“…DT thereby causes a blurring of the boundaries between physical and online industry structures , including the convergence of physical products and digital services, merging the physical world with online content, and creating an omnichannel environment for the customer (e.g., Brynjolfsson et al, 2013). These effects also lead to a higher exposure to cyber threats , including both cyber war threats and data security vulnerability (e.g., Dang‐Pham et al, 2017), as well as the resulting need to ensure network and data security (Haggerty, 2017). Finally, we found that firms need to account for the digitalization of the individual .…”

In this article we provide a systematic review of the extensive yet diverse and fragmented literature on digital transformation (DT), with the goal of clarifying boundary conditions to investigate the phenomenon from the perspective of organizational change. On the basis of 279 articles, we provide a multi‐dimensional framework synthesizing what is known about DT and discern two important thematical patterns: DT is moving firms to malleable organizational designs that enable continuous adaptation, and this move is embedded in and driven by digital business ecosystems. From these two patterns, we derive four perspectives on the phenomenon of DT: technology impact, compartmentalized adaptation, systemic shift and holistic co‐evolution. Linking our findings and interpretations to existing work, we find that the nature of DT is only partially covered by conventional frameworks on organizational change. On the basis of this analysis, we derive a research agenda and provide managerial implications for strategy and organizational change.

“…Security Champions in development teams have an interest in security but they are not necessarily security experts or have a formal Security Champion title [33,57,68,70,72,79]. They can positively infuence the security practices of others [19][20][21] often with a bottom-up approach instead of a top-down approach [8,19,55]. Such behaviours and attitudes are valuable in organisations that prioritise security [35].…”

“…They can be an experienced hacker who helps testers in fnding vulnerabilities [74], an intermediary between the security and development teams [25,70], or the leader in threat modelling activities [10,63]. They are involved in several security-related activities such as educating other developers [31,33,34,38,73], increasing awareness [19,33,34], and promoting the adoption of technologies [31,32,34].…”

Software development teams are responsible for making and implementing software design decisions that directly impact end-user privacy, a challenging task to do well. Privacy Champions-people who strongly care about advocating privacy-play a useful role in supporting privacy-respecting development cultures. To understand their motivations, challenges, and strategies for protecting end-user privacy, we conducted 12 interviews with Privacy Champions in software development teams. We fnd that common barriers to implementing privacy in software design include: negative privacy culture, internal prioritisation tensions, limited tool support, unclear evaluation metrics, and technical complexity. To promote privacy, Privacy Champions regularly use informal discussions, management support, communication among stakeholders, and documentation and guidelines. They perceive code reviews and practical training as more instructive than general privacy awareness and on-boarding training. Our study is a frst step towards understanding how Privacy Champions work to improve their organisation's privacy approaches and improve the privacy of enduser products.

The paper presents simulation tools for investigation not only the structural characteristics of social networks in order to study information dissemination strategies, but also the dynamic characteristics of this process. A feature of this software system is not only the ability to work with virtual social networks, but also with data from real networks. To collect data about a real social network, a special software agent has been developed. An ontological approach is used to store data about real network.
