A Systematic Literature Review on the Application of Multicriteria Decision Making Methods for Information Security Risk Assessment

Abstract

In today's fast, agile, complex and interconnected business world, one of the main goals and concerns is to find an efficient and effective way of managing information security risks.So, one of the means is usage of multicriteria decision-making techniques for such purposes.The vast majority of research begins with some form of literature review.Thus, the review of the literature must be done thoroughly and impartially in order to obtain certain scientific value.This paper provides a systematic literature review (SLR) of relevant and recent literature from both research domains, namely information security risk management and multicriteria decision-making, identifying the standards, methods, techniques and tools that are considered to be the most relevant in the research areas observed.The main purpose of the paper is to discover complementary ISRA and MCDM methods that could be used as a basis to create a new hybrid model for more efficient evaluation of critical IT solutions.The related context, main goals, review methods, relevant results of each research phase along with the findings, papers' analysis, recommendations and conclusions are all given in this review article in order to fully comply with the SLR requirements.
