Organizations must focus more on managing risk. Project managers must be empowered with appropriate knowledge and skills, and receive consistent education as opposed to ineffective once-a-year education. Solutions must be crafted that include evolving cyberattacks. Offered is an agenda for project risk management to include cybersecurity. Described are positives that actions can provide to cybersecurity and basic project management. Intertwined are tools to use to assure effectiveness. The mission for this text is to catalyze research at the interface of cybersecurity, business, and technology.
