The Impact Of Cybersecurity On Economic Security In The Context Of The Digital Economy

Abstract

In the era of rapid digitalization, the digital economy has become a cornerstone of global economic development, yet it simultaneously exposes economies to a wide range of cybersecurity threats that undermine economic security. This study investigates how cybersecurity challenges in digital environments affect economic stability, business resilience, and national security. Using a systematic literature review of studies on cyber threats, economic security vulnerabilities, and digital transformation impacts, this paper finds that cyber incidents—such as data breaches, ransomware, and infrastructure attacks—lead to direct financial losses, operational disruptions, weakened investor confidence, and increased costs for both public and private sectors. The research also highlights the importance of robust cybersecurity frameworks, regulatory policies, and international cooperation in strengthening economic security amidst digital growth.
