Relationships Among Organizational-Level Maturities in Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity, and Digital Transformation: A Survey-Based Analysis

The rapid development of digital technology across industries has highlighted the growing need for enhanced competencies in Artificial Intelligence (AI), Cyber security (CS), and Digital Transformation (DT). While there is extensive research on each of these domains in isolation, few studies have investigated their relationship and joint impact on organizational maturity. This study aims to address this gap by analyzing the relationships among the maturity levels of AI, CS, and DT at the organizational level using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and descriptive statistical methods. A mixed-methods design combines quantitative survey data with synthetic modeling techniques to assess organizational preparedness. The findings demonstrate significant bidirectional correlations among AI, CS, and DT, with technology and finance being more advanced than government and education. The research highlights the necessity of an integrated AI-CS strategy and provides actionable recommendations to increase investments in these domains. In contrast to the preceding fragmented evaluations, the current research establishes a comprehensive, empirically grounded framework that acts as a strategic reference point for digital resilience. Follow-up studies will involve collecting real-world industry data in support of empirical validation and predictive ability in measuring AI and CS maturity. This research adds to the existing literature by filling the gaps among fragmented digital maturity models and providing a consistent empirical base for organizations to thrive in an evolving technological environment.
