The Relationship between Cyber Risk Management and Digital Transformation. A Bibliometric Analysis
The Relationship between Cyber Risk Management and Digital Transformation. A Bibliometric Analysis

Summary/Abstract: Based on the manifold implications of the relationship between cyber risk management and digital transformation, the present paper intends to perform a bibliometric analysis stressing the main topics which have been investigated so far under this overarching research theme. The aim is to conduct a structured examination of cyber risk management in the context of digital transformation, with a focus on management practices. The bibliometric analysis was conducted following the steps in the PRISMA guidelines. 73 sources retrieved from Scopus database were analysed, covering 37 papers presented at conferences, 24 articles published in scientific journals, 8 book chapters and 1 full book together with 2 reviews and 1 conference review. In terms of research areas, the majority of studies came from the disciplines of engineering, computer science and social sciences. By using various approaches to assess cyber risks, the bibliometric analysis provides a solid framework for understanding and managing threats in a systematic and effective way. Moreover, the analyses reflect discrepancies between the perceived level of cybersecurity requirements and the actual level of preparedness and awareness of cyber risks in various industry sectors. This underlines the need for a more comprehensive and proactive approach to cybersecurity management, taking into account not only technologies and protection methods, but also cultural and organisational aspects.
