Abstract

This thesis quantitatively evaluates the effectiveness of cybersecurity measures by analysing threat types and the implementation of NIST and ISO 27001 frameworks. The study investigates how various cybersecurity threats, including malware and Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs), impact stakeholders in the digital age. It explores the efficacy of widely adopted frameworks like NIST and ISO 27001 in mitigating these threats and examines the role of human factors in cybersecurity. Using secondary data from reputable sources, the research provides a comprehensive assessment of the dynamic cybersecurity landscape, contributing valuable insights for businesses, governments, and policymakers to enhance their cybersecurity strategies.
