This review paper introduces a conceptual model titled “Cybersecu- rity Culture and Organizational Resilience: A Human-Centered Approach to Digital Risk Management”, grounded in the integrated framework of Protec- tion Motivation Theory (PMT), Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB), Resili- ence Theory, Socio-Technical Systems Theory, and Organizational Culture Theory. The study highlights the importance of cultivating a cybersecurity cul- ture and implementing human-centered practices to enhance organizational resilience against cyber threats. It explores how human behaviour, awareness, and support systems interplay with technical measures to form a comprehen- sive defence posture. The proposed model includes four primary hypotheses connecting cybersecurity culture, human-centered practices, digital risk be- haviour, and organizational support systems to organizational resilience. Through a synthesis of theoretical perspectives and contemporary cyberse- curity practices, and qualitative approach (interviewing 15 experts), the pa- per emphasizes a shift toward inclusive, psychologically informed, and behav- iourally driven strategies in risk mitigation. This human-centered orientation addresses critical gaps in traditional cyber defences and provides insights into designing resilient organizations that are adaptive, proactive, and secure by de- sign.
