چکیده

The concept of tacit knowledge is introduced and explored particularly by examining how it influences an organisation’s security risk management activities. This exploration lends credit to validating the “soft” discursive attributes of security risk management within organisations. The theme focuses on the general aspects of information systems’ exposure to security risk and conceptualises the process of capturing extemporaneous human activities that guide the security risk mitigation process. The underlying primary proposition is twofold; firstly, that there are multiple approaches to security risk management each unique in its own way that is impacted by tacit awareness, and secondly, that the risk management process is a contextual, free floating and independent construction shaped by improvised actions and tacit knowledge. What is finally outlined is that the patterns of insights that subconsciously evolve within the frame of tacit knowledge continually guide the risk mitigation process. It is proposed that the best way to capture tacit knowledge is through a security knowledge repository (SecBase) designed to map cognitive extemporaneous activities into this repository using an algorithm.
