New technologies such as SMAC and IOTs have ushered in a new era in the information technology sector. Cyber security threats to digital infrastructure have grown exponentially as a result of this development and are a cause for concern in terms of the sustainability of the current business growth situation. Continuous improvement in the cyber security posture of organisations is needed to keep pace with the rising threats. Using capability maturity models is a good way to get there There has been a sea change in the world of information technology due to disruptive technologies like social, mobility, analytics, and the cloud (SMAC) and the internet of things (IOT). The cyber security dangers to digital infrastructure have grown exponentially as a result of this evolution and are a major worry for the long-term viability of corporate growth. Continuous improvement in the cyber security posture of organisations is needed to keep pace with the escalating threats. Models of capability maturity assist in achieving this goal. Using a comparison of nine contemporary maturity models and an empirical study of inputs from 200 or more relevant cross-industry specialists, this research offers the development and validation of a new cyber security capability maturity model (CSCMM). CSCMM is expected to help organisations combat the new generation of cyber threats by strengthening their cyber security posture.
