%X As organizations face an evolving threat landscape, the need for robust cybersecurity frameworks that transcend purely technical solutions becomes more pressing. This review paper introduces a conceptual model titled &#8220;<i>Cybersecurity Culture and Organizational Resilience</i>: <i>A Human-Centered Approach to Digital Risk Management</i>&#8221;, grounded in the integrated framework of Protection Motivation Theory (PMT), Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB), Resilience Theory, Socio-Technical Systems Theory, and Organizational Culture Theory. The study highlights the importance of cultivating a cybersecurity culture 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 comprehensive defence posture. The proposed model includes four primary hypotheses connecting cybersecurity culture, human-centered practices, digital risk behaviour, and organizational support systems to organizational resilience. Through a synthesis of theoretical perspectives and contemporary cybersecurity practices, and qualitative approach (interviewing 15 experts), the paper emphasizes a shift toward inclusive, psychologically informed, and behaviourally 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 design.
