Abstract

The meteoric rise in cybercrime in recent years has resulted in renewed efforts to stem the potential negative effects of these nefarious activities. In this context, the role of the chief information security officer (CISO) has become one of strategic importance, safeguarding the integrity of the organization’s digital assets. Given the economic impact of cybercrime, it has become critically important to understand the cybercrime-related issues that organizations face. We sought to identify these issues by conducting a bibliographic analysis of cybercrime research. The results identified the most prolific and impactful authors, journals, and countries of publication, the most influential articles, and trends in the literature on cybercrime. The research suggests that interest in the field is wide-reaching with the growth in publications stemming from diverse academic disciplines and geographies. The identified trends represent critical knowledge areas for the CISO that are likely to continue the expansion of the field.
