“…In addition, the authors of [67] separately highlight the academic community, which, of course, is in the sphere of activity in which cybercrimes often occur, the degree of protection against which affects the significance of the level of national cybersecurity in each country. Another field of cyber attacks is the engineering of cyber-physical systems, which are controlled or monitored by machine algorithms and have software that is closely related to physical objects [68]. Therefore, it is advisable to use both a powerful mathematical apparatus and methods of fuzzy logic and machine learning to detect and prevent cyber threats [69].…”

The article substantiates the existence of convergence processes in the field of digitization of countries, taking into account the number of Internet users; people with advanced skills; and indicators of infrastructure (network coverage, population covered by at least a 3G mobile network, population covered by at least a 4G mobile network), access (access to ICT at home, active mobile broadband subscriptions, fixed broadband subscriptions), enablers (fixed broadband over 10 Mbps, mobile data and voice basket, high consumption) and barriers (improved broadband access from 256 kbps to 2 Mbps and from 2 Mbps to 10 Mbps mobile data and voice basket, low consumption) of digital development. The methodological basis for determining the sigma convergence of digitization processes is the coefficient of variation. The values of the coefficient of variation confirmed the high level of convergence between the studied countries in terms of the degree of use of the Internet for conducting digital transactions. The developed econometric model, which describes the influence of statistically significant integral indicators of the national cybersecurity level, ease of doing business, and the anti-money laundering index on the country’s digital development level, made it possible to determine the average trend of dependence on the level of digital development. One hundred four countries were considered for the analysis. The conducted study of the impact of digitalization on economic transformations based on developed quantile regressions made it possible to analyze exactly how the level of digital development for countries with a high level of digitalization and for countries with a low level of digitalization development depends on the value of the national cybersecurity indicator and the ease of doing business, and which countries have the least resistance to the risk factors of their involvement in fraudulent schemes for the purpose of legalizing criminal income.

“…The proposed research offers a major breakthrough in the field of cybersecurity for critical infrastructures. It proposes the development of an integrated MLbased framework that can provide risk assessment [45], threat intelligence, and threat hunting in a single system, making it the first of its kind in the world.…”

“…A list of the 5 most cited scientific corpus papers in each search category is shown in Table 1. (B) Following the vulnerability analysis and risk assessment mentioned in Northern et al [18], the most dangerous common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVEs) for the years 2019 to 2021, which had scores > 9.0 and were hosted at cve.mitre.org, and the Ultimate Security Vulnerability Data source were extracted (Table 2). These vulnerabilities were used to evaluate whether those CVEs are mentioned explicitly or inexplicitly in the document corpus using text mining analysis.…”

Background: Cyber security has turned out to be one of the main challenges of recent years. As the variety of system and application vulnerabilities has increased dramatically in recent years, cyber attackers have managed to penetrate the networks and infrastructures of larger numbers of companies, thus increasing the latter’s exposure to cyber threats. To mitigate this exposure, it is crucial for CISOs to have sufficient training and skills to help them identify how well security controls are managed and whether these controls offer the company sufficient protection against cyber threats, as expected. However, recent literature shows a lack of clarity regarding the manner in which the CISOs’ role and the companies’ investment in their skills should change in view of these developments. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between the CISOs’ level of cyber security-related preparation to mitigate cyber threats (and specifically, the companies’ attitudes toward investing in such preparation) and the recent evolution of cyber threats. Methods: The study data are based on the following public resources: (1) recent scientific literature; (2) cyber threat-related opinion news articles; and (3) OWASP’s reported list of vulnerabilities. Data analysis was performed using various text mining methods and tools. Results: The study’s findings show that although the implementation of cyber defense tools has gained more serious attention in recent years, CISOs still lack sufficient support from management and sufficient knowledge and skills to mitigate current and new cyber threats. Conclusions: The research outcomes may allow practitioners to examine whether the companies’ level of cyber security controls matches the CISOs’ skills, and whether a comprehensive security education program is required. The present article discusses these findings and their implications.
