Digital Transformation Security Challenges

Digital transformation has become one of the most popular strategies for information systems (IS). Developing and implementing a digital strategy is a mandatory task for any organization that relies on information systems. In this digital age, an IS/IT strategy without security considerations could lead to serious data breaches. Despite all countermeasures, security remains a major concern in digital transformation, as digitization is misjudged and brings with it major security concerns. The digitization of manual goods, processes and services, as well as their use, leads to various security issues in different organizations. The aim of this study is to identify and analyze elements that are typical barriers to digital innovation in organizations. This study addresses common elements that impact the security of digital transformation through a literature review and a case study.
