Description
Despite the growing importance of cybersecurity, a lack of theoretical studies hampers a comprehensive understanding of this field. This gap becomes particularly evident when attempting to investigate the impacts of cybersecurity on organizational performance. To address this gap, this paper conducts a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) to identify a series of core cybersecurity capabilities and applies the dynamic capabilities framework to analyze them. The study categorizes the 17 identified capabilities into sense, seize, and transform clusters, exploring their contributions to organizational performance and their interrelationships. While many of these capabilities align with established cybersecurity standards such as ISO 27001 and NIST CSF, the findings emphasize specifically the critical role played by less technical and more strategic-oriented capabilities. This research represents an initial step in bridging the existing knowledge gap and offers valuable insights for future investigations into the microfoundations and evolving nature of dynamic cyber capabilities.
