The impact of cyber security on the adoption of new digital technologies in UK’s SMEs
The Digital Security by Design (DSbD) Programme aims to radically update the digital infrastructure currently underpinning the global economy, making it secure against future threats. Discribe is one part of this wider initiative, with funding in place until 2024.
Our project investigates the impact of cyber security on the decision-making process behind the adoption of new digital technologies in the UK small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Taking a strategic management perspective, our project considers that the decision to invest in new tools and technologies depends upon internal (firms’ capabilities in cyber security) and external factors (threats and attacks in the cyber environment). This project focuses on understanding (1) the impact of previous cyber security incidents on SMEs’ decision to invest in new digital technologies, and (2) the impact of SMEs’ current cyber security practices on the readiness to invest in new digital technologies.
