This comprehensive review of existing literature delves into the ramifications of digital transformation and cybersecurity for achieving business resilience. Digital transformation involves the shift of organizational processes toward IT solutions, which can lead to substantial changes across various facets of an organization. Nonetheless, the global push for digital transformation, driven by emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, big data and analytics, blockchain, and cloud computing, also amplifies cybersecurity risks for businesses undergoing this transformation. This article, focused on surveying the existing literature, underscores the critical importance of having an extensive understanding of cybersecurity threats during the implementation of digital transformation to prevent disruptions caused by malicious activities or unauthorized access by individuals with the intent of tampering with sensitive information, causing damage, or seeking extortion from users. Cybersecurity plays a vital role in safeguarding digital assets from cyber threats. To conduct this research, we conducted a systematic literature review following the PRISMA methodology. Our review revealed that while digital transformation enhances efficiency and productivity, it introduces new challenges related to cybersecurity risks, such as data breaches and cyber-attacks. We conclude by addressing the prospective vulnerabilities associated with the implementation of digital transformation and offering recommendations on how organizations can mitigate these risks through the implementation of effective cybersecurity measures. The paper proposes the adoption of a structured cybersecurity readiness framework for business organizations to ensure preparedness as they embark on their digital transformation journey.
