Measuring Cybersecurity Awareness in Somalian Organizations

Abstract

The rise in Cybercrime is a result of technological breakthroughs and inventions, which has led many cyber specialists and researchers to focus more on Cybersecurity. Software, hardware, and other computer components are all protected by Cybersecurity. Cybercrimes may be committed as a result of cyber attackers gaining access to communication controls and remote-control weapons. Cybersecurity should therefore not be taken lightly; rather, careful thought should go into its implementation. In this research, I employed a quantitative approach to gather quantifiable data from employees in different Somalian organizations using Google Form to distribute meticulously thought-out survey questionnaire to investigate how employees in different Somalian companies perceive and feel about Cybersecurity. The techniques utilized to analyze the data that was gathered include Pearson correlation, variance analysis, and independent t-test. The findings indicated that the alternate hypothesis, which was accepted, is connected to the beta value forage applied to the attitude towardCybercrime and Cybersecurity in business. This suggests a positive significance and, consequently, suggests that the age of the employees had a significant influence on the attitude toward Cybercrime and Cybersecurity in business. "Gender," which is linked to the null hypothesis being accepted, did not demonstrate any relevance, suggesting that there was no gender-related positive attitude on Cybersecurity in company. The phrases "position at work" and "experience" indicate that the significance was sufficiently positive to lead to the employees' general good attitude toward their varied office jobs and experiences. Therefore, our research can help Somalian companies strengthen their cyber defenses and guard against online fraud when conducting business.
