Managing Cybersecurity Risks in the Era of Digital Transformation

Abstract

Introduction: The issue of information security risk management in digital transformations is of particular relevance given the increasing number and scale of threats to cybersecurity, electronic services, information systems and telecommunications networks. In this context, it is essential to ensure the effective integration of modern analysis tools, the introduction of innovative technologies and the formation of an appropriate regulatory framework capable of adapting to the modern digital environment.

Objectives: The article aims to systematise the key aspects of information security risk management in digital transformations.

Methods: The study used several general scientific methods of knowledge, including case analysis, systematisation and generalisation, regulatory framework, statistical data analysis, and Paired Samples T-Test using JASP software to assess the relationships between key indicators of digital infrastructure and cybersecurity.

Results: The t-test results revealed a statistically significant impact of digital transformation on critical aspects of cybersecurity. In particular, the development of e-governance (t = 4.515, p = 0.02) and access to online services (t = 5.266, p = 0.013) significantly increase the effectiveness of digital services protection and the ability to manage cyber crises, while the improvement of telecommunications infrastructure (t = 3,314, p = 0.045) contributes to the resilience of information systems during crises, especially in the context of modern cyber warfare, which underscores the critical role of digitalisation in strengthening national cybersecurity.

Conclusions: Thus, the analysis has revealed the need for a comprehensive approach to information security based on resilience, innovation, and international cooperation as crucial elements in countering modern cyber threats, especially in the Ukrainian context, which is against the backdrop of ongoing cyber warfare.
