Abstract

As cybercrime is increasing day by day and taking a wild shape in society, even highly reputable and government organizations’ software are not safe from those attacks. So, the findings of this study will contribute to finding the reasons for how cyber attacks take place and how harmful they can be. A systematic literature review (SLR) is used to discover the negative effects of cyber attacks on vendor organizations in context of software development and also to tell us how to deal with the negative consequences of these attacks. We have identified 13 critical challenges through the SLR. Because of these findings we will get to know about the real-world practices which can be used to solve and overcome the negative consequences of cyber attacks. This chapter will provide a roadmap to conduct the research. The development of a cyber security challenges model (CSCM) is the conclusive aim of this protocol.
