MODERN APPROACHES TO PROTECTIVE MEASURES IN CORPORATE SECURITY
MODERN APPROACHES TO PROTECTIVE MEASURES IN CORPORATE SECURITY

Summary/Abstract: In the era of digital transformation, data security has emerged as a paramount challenge for corporations worldwide, particularly in the context of increasingly sophisticated cyber-attacks. This study examines the efficacy of security measures within corporate environments, with a focus on mitigating prevalent cyber-attacks such as phishing, malware infection, distributed denial of-service (DDoS) attacks, ransomware and SQL injection. By analyzing empirical data from 50 enterprises in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the research evaluates three critical dimensions, the extent of security protocol implementation, the risk-reduction impact of adopting ISO/IEC 27001 compliance, and the comparative effectiveness of paid versus free security software in safeguarding business infrastructure. Utilizing Pearson, Spearman and Kendall correlation analyses, the findings reveal that organizations employing integrated measures (firewall, encryption, regular audits) and paid tools such as endpoint protection, exhibit a statistically significant reduction in successful cyber-attacks (p < 0.05) compared to those that rely on free or built-in security features of operating systems. The study highlights the necessity of hybrid frameworks that integrate advanced technological solutions, adherence to international standards and ongoing staff training. The study contributes a novel regional perspective, addressing the unique challenges of cyber security faced by organizations in resource-limited settings.
