Cybersecurity has been gaining serious attention and recently has become an important topic of concern for organizations, government institutions, and largely for people interacting with digital online systems. As many individual and organizational activities continue to grow and are conducted in the digital environment, new vulnerabilities have arisen which have led to cybersecurity threats. The nature, source, reasons, and sophistication for cyberattacks are not clearly known or understood, and many times invisible cyber attackers are never traced or can never be found. Cyberattacks can only be known once the attack and the destruction have already taken place long after the attackers have left. Cybersecurity for computer systems has increasingly become important because the government, military, corporate, financial, critical infrastructure, and medical organizations rely heavily on digital network systems, which process and store large volumes of data on computer devices that are exchanged on the internet, and they are vulnerable to “continuous” cyberattacks. As cybersecurity has become a global concern, it needs to be clearly understood, and innovative solutions are required.

The Handbook of Research on Advancing Cybersecurity for Digital Transformation looks deeper into issues, problems, and innovative solutions and strategies that are linked to cybersecurity. This book will provide important knowledge that can impact the improvement of cybersecurity, which can add value in terms of innovation to solving cybersecurity threats. The chapters cover cybersecurity challenges, technologies, and solutions in the context of different industries and different types of threats. This book is ideal for cybersecurity researchers, professionals, scientists, scholars, and managers, as well as practitioners, stakeholders, researchers, academicians, and students interested in the latest advancements in cybersecurity for digital transformation.

Reviews & Statements

“At the end of the story, safety and security are desirable to everyone. Cybercrime is one of the biggest threats to every business in the world. Therefore, cybersecurity plays an important role in enhancing individuals and technologies to protect businesses and their significant, confidential, and sensitive systems and information from cybercrimes."

– Mitra Madanchian (Research and Development Department (Research Club), Hamta Business Corporation, Canada)

“If you need your business to transform digitally and still survive, cybersecurity is a must rather than being a choice.”

Transforming from manual processes to digital brings along many cyber concerns as well as undeniable productivity benefits. Leveraging cybersecurity measures is a must while businesses benefit from the wealth of information by going digital; otherwise, they are likely to face the detrimental effects of data breaches.

– Mona Ebrahimi, Hamta Group | Hamta Business Corporation
