Abstract

The current study aimed to identify the dimensions of cybersecurity, which include confidentiality, privacy, and enhancement, and their role in strengthening security, represented by reliability, tangibility, trust, and safety. The study also aimed to assess the extent to which the organization under investigation understands the concept of cybersecurity. A descriptive-analytical approach was used, with a sample of 160 employees from Najaf International Airport selected using a random sampling method. A questionnaire was designed to collect data, and its items were analyzed to test the study hypotheses using statistical programs. The study reached several conclusions, the most prominent of which is that cybersecurity at the studied airport was at a good level, with a suitable degree of consistency in the opinions of the sample participants. This indicates a clear administrative interest in applying the requirements for protecting systems and sensitive data. The study concluded with a set of recommendations, the most important of which is the need to enhance the dimension of cybersecurity through continuous investment in updating digital protection systems and adopting early detection techniques for breaches, which would contribute to supporting tourism security at the airport.
