In the present day, the development industry is facing sophisticated demand amidst increasing competition. Fast-paced technological advancement has led to the emergence of the Industry Revolution 4.0. Integrating information technology and business operations presents several challenges, of which cyber security is of primary importance. Cyber security refers to aspects of technology that address the confidentiality, availability, and integrity of data in cyberspace and is considered to be associated with other security aspects. Several industries regard cyber security as crucial since this aspect helps protect confidential information specific to people or systems against abuse, attacks, theft, and misuse in the digital space. Network connectivity is growing steadily; therefore, there is a chance of data being more prone to cyber-attacks, where the data may be abused for financial or strategic gain. A majority of the organisations consider cyber security as a part of the tech-nology domain. Even though organisations know the potential risks and how those risks might affect the business, the typical propensity is not to pinpoint security vulnerabilities. Substantial capital is required to formulate new strategies to facilitate security-specific technological advancement in information technology (IT) to contain the risk and impact of cyber-attacks. Cyber security is primarily considered by most organizations as a technology issue.
