The Influence of Cybersecurity Leadership on the Resilience of Jordanian Businesses: A Study on the Role of Cybersecurity Measures in Entrepreneurial Success

Theoretical management thought posits that the challenge of addressing cyber risks has instigated a reevaluation of business resilience, particularly as organizations increasingly adopt digital transformation strategies. To empirically investigate this proposition, this paper delves into the realm of cybersecurity measures and their influence on business resilience. Employing a cross-sectional research design and a quantitative methodology involving 255 respondents, encompassing entrepreneurial SME managers, the study collected the essential data for its investigation. Structural equation modeling techniques were leveraged to scrutinize both the measurement model and the structural model. The study's findings ultimately underscore the positive impact of cybersecurity measures on business resilience, particularly in the context of detection. Consequently, we recommend a multi-faceted approach for SMEs, with a focus on prioritizing comprehensive cybersecurity training for their employees. This approach should aim to cultivate a culture of awareness and vigilance within the organization, further strengthening its cybersecurity defenses and enhancing its overall resilience.
