Assessment of Organizational Incident Response Readiness
Abstract: In the digital era, organizations face increasing challenges in protecting their information systems from evolving cyber threats, necessitating the development of effective strategies to enhance cybersecurity readiness. This study aims to analyse the level of organizational preparedness against cyber risks using a multi-theoretical framework based on Institutional Theory, Game Theory, and Deterrence Theory. A descriptive-analytical approach was employed, collecting data through surveys and interviews with cybersecurity experts across several organizations. The data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistical methods to assess the factors influencing cybersecurity readiness. Results indicated a significant impact of institutional and organizational factors in strengthening cybersecurity practices. The study highlights the importance of deterrence strategies based on rapid response and game-theoretic planning to achieve effective protection. Additionally, findings show that investing in security culture and employee training reduces cyberattack risks and enhances response capabilities. In conclusion, the study emphasizes the necessity of adopting an integrated approach that combines theoretical frameworks with practical applications to improve organizational cybersecurity readiness, focusing on raising institutional awareness and implementing effective deterrence strategies. The study recommends further future research to develop dynamic evaluation models that adapt to the changing landscape of digital threats.
