Abstract

Cybersecurity is crucial in the digital age, as organizations and individuals face increasing threats when using digital devices. The interdisciplinary nature of cybersecurity requires consolidation to meet the requirements of further theoretical and practical applications and international standards and regulations. This study reviews studies published between 1991 and 2022 in the field of cybersecurity and information security, examining trends and relevant publications and collaborations. The aim is to develop a modern, relevant, and up-to-date measurement method – named Security Awareness Measurement – by analysing security awareness measurements and questionnaires used in recent years. The study uses the Web of Science database, Zotero reference management program, VOSviewer software, Scopus database, and GoogleScholar databases for analysis.
