Siber Güvenlik Araştırmalarına Küresel Bir Bakış: Yayın Trendleri ve Araştırma Yönelimleri

Makale, Web of Science'ın veritabanında indekslenen siber güvenlik ve bilgi güvenliği araştırmalarının kapsamlı bir bibliyometrik analizini sunmaktadır. Siber güvenlik, son zamanların ilgi odağı olan popüler bir araştırma konusudur. Alandaki küresel araştırma verimliliğini ve gelişimini incelemek için 1980 ve 2021 yılları arasında yayınlanan 4252 makale R tabanlı Biblioshiny paket programı ile analiz edilmiştir. Siber güvenlik alanındaki yayınlanan araştırmalar yıllara göre giderek artan bir eğilim gösterirken bilgi güvenliği ile ilgili olan yayınlar giderek azalan bir eğim göstermiştir. Alanın kavramsal yapısı incelediğinde, son dönemin en dikkat çekici araştırma konuları “siber güvenlik farkındalığı” ve “siber fiziksel sistemler” olduğu bulunmuştur. Ek olarak alanın tematik ağ haritası incelendiğinde, bilgi güvenliği alanının sosyal boyutunu ifade eden bilgi güvenliği farkındalığı, bilgi güvenliği yönetimi, bilgi güvenliği politikaları, bilgi güvenliği kültürü gibi konularla daha çok çalışılmıştır. Siber güvenlik alanının teknik tarafını ifade eden yapay zeka, büyük veri, blokzincir, makine öğrenmesi ve derin öğrenme gibi konularla daha çok çalışıldığı ortaya çıkmıştır. Çalışmanın bulguları, araştırmacılara, bilgi teknolojisi uzmanlarına ve bilgi uzmanlarına, siber güvenlik alanındaki araştırma ilerlemesine ve yeni araştırma konularını belirlemede yardımcı olabileceği ön görülmektedir.

A Global Perspective of Cybersecurity Research: Publication Trends and Research Directions

The article presents a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of cybersecurity and information security research indexed in the Web of Science database. Cybersecurity is a popular research topic that has been the focus of recent attention in recent times. To examine the global research efficiency and development in the field, 4252 articles published between 1980 and 2021 were analyzed with the R-based Biblioshiny package program. While cybersecurity-related publications have shown an increasing trend over the years, publications related to information security have shown a decreasing trend. When examining the conceptual structure of the field, the most notable research topics in recent years were found to be "cybersecurity awareness" and "cyber-physical systems. Additionally, when the thematic network map of the field was examined, it is observed that topics related to the social dimension of information security such as information security awareness, information security management, information security policies, and information security culture are studied more. On the other hand, it is revealed that topics related to the technical side of cybersecurity such as artificial intelligence, big data, blockchain, machine learning, and deep learning are studied more. The findings of the study are expected to help researchers, information technology experts, and information professionals in advancing research in the field of cybersecurity and identifying new research topics.
