Organizations usually pursue some significant goals while at the same time facing severe threats. Two primary goals are network availability and data integrity. Network availability refers to the way a network can remain always on and available without interruption, which is highly crucial for productivity and business continuity. Data integrity is the act of protecting information from unauthorized change or destruction, so that the data remains accurate and reliable from the time it exists. However, organizations are also under attack. One of the key threats is cyberattacks, such as ransomware or phishing, that can compromise sensitive information and disrupt operations. Another major threat is insider threats, where insiders or contractors with authorized access abuse their privileges either knowingly or unknowingly, potentially leading to data breaches or system compromise (Oliviero & Woodward, 2021).
