Abstract: Cyber risk management (CRM) faces significant challenges, with cyber attacks increasing despite substantial investment. Traditional risk management approaches often fail due to their siloed nature, which does not holistically align cyber security with business and information technology functions. Using systems theory, this study looks at the role of business and information technology alignment (BITA) in enhancing CRM. It examines six dimensions of BITA that influence CRM and offers a blueprint for future research and practical implementation that integrates BITA with CRM, proposing that strategic planning, governance and shared knowledge are crucial for improving it.
