Cybersecurity Cost Effects on the United States Marine Corps' Buying Power

Abstract

This thesis conducted a systematic literature review to synthesize and analyze current research on cybersecurity investment risk that may inform the Marine Corps future cybersecurity investment decisions. Using both public and private sector research on cybersecurity investment risk allowed for a broad look at academic studies that approached similar issues. This thesis makes recommendations on framework and two models that may be adopted by the Marine Corps as effective decision-making tools to help leadership. This research is important because the Marine Corps could benefit from an investment decision-making tool that is robust, works in a constrained budget environment, and allows for leaders to understand the risks of their decisions.
