ABSTRACT

The study looked at how employee productivity in Nigerian manufacturing organizations was affected by cyber security risk management.  The goal of the study is to address the issue of cyber threats that manufacturers face, which has led to a greater loss of trade secrets, patents, sensitive designs, and company integrity.  The population of the study, which used a descriptive research design, consisted of employees of the Bua Group Sugar and Flour Factory in Ota, Ogun State. It was selected to provide access to a wider and more varied population. Primary data was gathered from the designated factory and secondary data was gathered from other sources for the purpose of the regulatory environment. Examining the impact of cybersecurity governance, risk mitigation technology, and cyber security awareness as predictors on the operational efficiency of Nigerian manufacturing enterprises was one of the enabling aims. Using the survey method and purposive sample approaches, 100 respondents were obtained with the help of structured questionnaires.  The SPSS application was used to examine the data.  In order to increase manufacturer profitability and have a positive impact on the economy, the study recommends that stakeholders embrace cyber security risk management to address the risks associated with cyber threats that affect the sensitive design and operational integrity of manufacturing companies. It was found that the predictors used for the study had a significant impact on employee productivity.
