Cybersecurity has become a significant factor necessary to drive enterprise development and sustainability in the digital economy. It is becoming difficult for businesses to protect their data and premises as more and more companies involve digital facilities to support operations and advance solutions. This paper aims to assess the economic aspect of cybersecurity, the investment in this kind of protection, and the corresponding gains. Security involves hefty expenses towards security tools, staff training and awareness, hardware and outsourced services, and legal compliance. On the other hand, robust cybersecurity measures have potential economic value in reducing losses in service hours, lawsuits lawsuits, theft of ideas ideas, customer confidence, and innovation. Cybersecurity is also very relevant to remote work, particularly with global functioning and meeting government standards. Furthermore, the paper also emphasizes the use of risk in cybersecurity, which enables firms to allocate their resources appropriately, design specific security measures, and improve their response to threats. It plays a significant role in business sustainability, minimizing potential losses and encouraging investors. Cyber threats are dynamic, and organizations cannot underestimate the importance of cybersecurity as a protective shield but rather as a form of organizational development and competitiveness. For businesses to survive in today’s complex digital environment, innovation in adopting some emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and blockchain, among others, is crucial while at the same time securing their organizations from cybersecurity threats looming due to factors such as remote working and globalization.
