cybersecurity readiness on organizational security performance

What is it about?

The study found that cybersecurity readiness impacts three key areas: security controls, individual behaviour and organizational performance. It strengthens security controls, enhances incident response through improved network visibility and threat detection, and mitigates risks to asset and data protection. Awareness programmes were instrumental in fostering proactive behaviours, such as reporting suspicious activities and securing workstations. Despite some employee frustration with increased security protocols, the long-term benefits, including improved operational continuity and reduced cyber risks, outweighed these challenges. Furthermore, cybersecurity readiness enhances organisational reputation, offering a competitive advantage amidst growing data privacy concerns.
