Advancing Cybersecurity for Business Transformation and Enterprise Architecture Projects

In this chapter, the author bases his research project on his authentic mixed multidisciplinary applied mathematical model for transformation projects. His mathematical model, named the applied holistic mathematical model for projects (AHMM4P), is supported by a tree-based heuristics structure. The AHMM4P is similar to the human empirical decision-making process and is applicable to any type of project; it is aimed to support the evolution of organisational, national, or enterprise transformation initiatives. The AHMM4P can be used for the development of the cybersecurity subsystems, enterprise information systems, and their decision-making systems, based on artificial intelligence, data sciences, enterprise architecture, big data, deep learning, and machine learning. The author attempts to prove that an AHMM4P-based action research approach can unify the currently frequently-used siloed MLI4P and DLI4P trends.
