Examining the Impact of Cybersecurity Investment on Organizational Performance in Bosaso, Somalia

In the 20th century, the increasing reliance on technology by organizations has led to a significant rise in cyber threats, including malware, ransom ware, and phishing attacks. These threats pose serious challenges to business success, jeopardizing the availability, integrity, and confidentiality of organizational assets and information. Specifically, organizations in Somalia face unique cyber security challenges due to a lack of resources and legal frameworks, resulting in a reactive approach to cyber security. The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of cyber security investment on organizational performance in Bosaso, Somalia. The research seeks to analyze the current state of cyber security challenges, including inadequate legal frameworks and widespread lack of knowledge, to provide actionable insights that can guide organizations in enhancing their cyber security measures, identifying critical patterns and themes that inform best practices and strategic recommendations. Findings indicate that organizations with robust cyber security measures are better positioned to safeguard their intellectual property and sensitive data, enhancing their market position. Moreover, the research highlights that cyber security should be viewed as a strategic asset rather than merely a cost center, encouraging organizations to invest in cyber security as a means to differentiate themselves in the marketplace.
