The title of the article is “Assessing Cybersecurity Readiness within SMEs: Proposal of a Socio-Technical based Model."
The article uses a semi-structured interview data collection methodology. The following is a quotation from the article in the methodology section.
“This study uses
semi-structured interviews with companies belonging to the manufacturing sector, in which questions are prepared ahead of time but not strictly followed during the interview “
The findings that answer the research question form the central part of the article. In regards to how small businesses can better prepare, the following statement provided perspective; - “Based on the shortcomings of the scholarly literature and the main consultancy firms analyzed, we propose a
model (CSRM) that can be used to
evaluate the readiness of SMEs in the context of cybersecurity. This can be used by companies wanting to further understand their contextual environment along with
strategies they could adopt to potentially prevent cyber-attacks. Theoretically, we add support to SMEs for the presence of standard company profiles that allow interested companies to
raise their awareness regarding the strategies that could be adopted to become more robust in terms of preventing cyber-attacks.”
