Today, Antwerp Management School launches the “Institute for Cyber Economics”. After two decades of research and development in the area of Cybereconomics, moving the topic out of Fear Uncertainty and Doubt (#FUD), jargon, and complex abbreviations towards a more business-oriented approach. The Institute will focus on the financial and economic dimensions of Digital Security and Cyber Risk and bridge the gap between technical cybersecurity practices and economic decision-making — helping organizations understand where to invest, how to quantify cyber risk, and how to determine their returns. Our inaugural positioning paper, “From Gut Feel to Gains: The Cybersecurity ROI Pyramid” (https://lnkd.in/e5SWzQZ4), sets the foundation for this innovative Institute, and it integrates its insights directly into AMS’s Executive Master's program, where case-based learning helps quantify risks and helps enrich participants with actionable models for cyber risk quantification and decision frameworks. Participants in our AMS Master track will apply proven methodologies to their own organizations using proven models such as #ValueAtRisk and #FAIR. Through case-based learning, threat model simulations, and applied research, participants will explore how to: • Translate cyber risks into financial terms; • Optimize cybersecurity portfolios; • Align security investments with organizational strategy and value creation.
