The analysis unveils cyber incident-prone geographic regions for firms, the most cited fields in cyber governance, key topics, emerging research frontiers, and empirical efforts. We conclude by outlining future research directions in cyber risk governance and identifying theoretical models that have been underexplored to advance research scholarship.
