Digital transformation has become a necessity in the more interconnected global economy of today, where operational efficiency, gaining a competitive edge, and driving innovation have become the driving forces behind the growth and advancement of modern corporate organisations. Despite the fact that technologies such as cloud computing, artificial intelligence ( AI ), the Internet of Things ( IoT ), and big data analytics offer unprecedented opportunities to expand business activities, they are associated with a broad spectrum of cybersecurity threats that need to be carefully planned and properly managed in terms of risk. This paper examines the interplay between digital transformation and cybersecurity in the business environment, considering the key risk factors, organizational governance, and obstacles to the implementation process. This article provides evidence-based recommendations to organisations that are in the process of digital transformation but are keen on strong security practices. According to the research, successful digital transformation is not only a matter of technology, but also requires the implementation of security at all stages of the process, supported by an appropriate governance structure, qualified personnel, and alignment of organisational culture. When companies make cybersecurity a key component of their digital strategy rather than an appendix, they achieve better outcomes in terms of innovation and risk management.
