Differentiation between the governance of IT and management of capabilities and services for the federation of business organizations is considered as a framework to develop and optimize the CIO function in relation to service provision. The approach proposed in this article combines the COBIT framework with the Analytic Hierarchy Process method for decision making and architectural design and business process optimization to provide a sound basis for consensus in the development of the CIO function. The approach is tested in instituting the CIO function in the Institute of Information and Communication Technologies of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (a federation of more than 40 entities) and its implementation for national and EU level is then defined as a roadmap. Core elements of the approach are tested in the framework of the ECHO project under H2020 for development of a governance model of the European cyber security collaborative trusted net-work organization.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">13</style></section></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>47</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Velizar Shalamanov</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Georgi Penchev</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Methodology for Organizational Design of Cyber Research Networks</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">DIGILIENCE 2019</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">cyber security</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Enterprise Architecture</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">governance</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">IT security</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">management</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">modeling</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">network analysis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">simulation</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2019</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2-4 October</style></date></pub-dates></dates><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sofia, Bulgaria</style></pub-location><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;The paper presents possible approaches for building a new network organization in the area of cybersecurity. The study is focused on selection of activities, processes and structures needed for the network governance and management. The study considers links between Enterprise Architecture approach, COBIT framework and network analysis with the task to elaborate a standard and comprehensive framework for analysis of IT related areas of organizational governance and management. Examples of NATO and EU initiatives for network organization design and implementation are explored with specific focus on ECHO project. Accreditation procedure based on participant&amp;rsquo;s self-assessment is presented.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This paper is included in the program of &lt;a href=&quot;https://digilience.org&quot;&gt;DIGILIENCE 2019&lt;/a&gt; and will be published in the post-conference volume.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
