As the digital economy refers to the wide range of economic activities and commercial transactions that take place in cyberspace, it has been growing partly due to the evolution of digital transformation and financial inclusion. This makes it quite hard to draw the distinction between what remains as the traditional economy and what is to be referred to as the digital economy.
Many organizations have adopted information technology to enable them to run their processes efficiently, and with competitiveness. Individuals are also part of this economy, since they are engaging in tasks and transactions that they could not participate in previously. Consequently, big data analytics, cloud computing, internet of things, and social media networks have continued to pull more people into this economy.
However, cyber threats exist in this economy. Threats are formulated by people, processes and technology. Particularly, it has been said that this economy might cease to grow if the security to protect it is not adequate. This economy is fragile and cyber threats have been marked as its greatest challenges.
