Description
Understanding the factors influencing cybersecurity readiness is crucial for strategic investment in cyber capabilities. However, there is a gap in applying Dynamic Capabilities (DC) theory, which focuses on organizational agility in adapting to changing environments. This study fills this gap by using DC theory to analyze and categorize existing literature, offering a framework to classify cybersecurity readiness factors across different stages. This approach enhances our understanding of how organizations maintain a competitive edge amidst evolving cyber threats. The study addresses the following research question: What are the key factors influencing cybersecurity readiness in organizations, as discussed in literature from 2014 to 2023? Utilizing a thematic review with Atlas.ti 23, it examines literature from 2014 to 2023, providing a broad perspective on relevant factors. By applying DC theory, this research offers valuable insights for academics, organizations, and policymakers, aiding in strategy development and informed policymaking.
