This chapter presents the outcome of two empirical research studies that assess the implementation and validation of the cybersecurity audit model (CSAM), designed as a multiple-case study in two different Canadian higher education institution. CSAM can be applied for undertaking cybersecurity audits in any organization or nation state in order to evaluate and measure the cybersecurity assurance, maturity, and cyber readiness. The architecture of CSAM is explained in central sections. CSAM has been examined, implemented, and established under three research scenarios: (1) cybersecurity audit of all model domains, (2) cybersecurity audit of numerous domains, and (3) a single cybersecurity domain audit. The chapter concludes by showing how the implementation of the model permits one to report relevant information for future decision making in order to correct cybersecurity weaknesses or to improve cybersecurity domains and controls; thus, the model can be implemented and sufficiently tested at any organization.

In the field of education, case study is a widely used qualitative research methodology. While there are a broad range of approaches to case study, the resources available to researchers is limited. Therefore, this chapter aims to shed some light on what defines a case study and some of the possible methodological variations. The goal of this chapter is to provide the reader with a foundational understanding of a case study as a methodology and how this methodology aligns within various research contexts in the field of education.

Organizational cultural dilemmas have shown a lack of psychological safety and sense of belonging, which may be positively impacted by the application of combined servant leader (SL) and inclusive leader (IL) behaviors. SL focuses on serving others' needs first, embracing the individual's strength, and stirring towards inclusiveness. Controversy exists in the literature regarding SL's ability to promote inclusiveness in the workplace. This chapter explores factors that link SL and IL from the angles of others-focused orientation and of psychological safety, empowering uniqueness and sense of belonging in followers. A framework of inclusive servant leader (ISL) is explored. This study is significant. As younger generations enter the workforce demanding more equitable leadership treatment, servant and inclusive behaviors have come to the forefront of organizational attention; nevertheless, its application is still in its infancy. A multiple case study research was conducted.
