However, this digital transformation has also exposed organizations to a wide range of cybersecurity threats and vulnerabilities. This study examines the level of cybersecurity readiness among organizations in the context of digital transformation. It explores how well-prepared institutions are to prevent, detect, and respond to cyber threats while undergoing digital change. The research utilizes a survey-based methodology, collecting data from professionals in IT, cybersecurity, and management roles across different sectors. The results indicate that while most organizations recognize the importance of cybersecurity, many still lack structured frameworks, adequate employee training, and regular risk assessments. The study concludes that enhancing cybersecurity readiness requires a strategic alignment between technology adoption and security practices, supported by leadership commitment and a culture of continuous improvement. The findings offer practical recommendations for improving cybersecurity readiness and contribute to the ongoing discourse on secure digital transformation.
