This study investigates the impact of risk management and agile methodology on the success of cybersecurity projects, emphasizing the mediating role of team collaboration within the financial sector. Based on a sample of 229 professionals, including IT specialists, project managers, and risk officers, data was collected using a structured survey instrument and analyzed through Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) using SmartPLS. The results confirm that both risk management and agile methodology have direct positive effects on cybersecurity project success. Additionally, both factors significantly enhance team collaboration, which in turn positively influences project outcomes, thereby confirming its mediating role in the relationship between these variables and cybersecurity project success. All proposed hypotheses were supported. The findings highlight the crucial interplay between management practices and team dynamics in ensuring project success. The findings also provide valuable theoretical insights and practical implications for enhancing cybersecurity initiatives in the financial industry.

This study explores the impact of leadership style and budget allocation on the success of cybersecurity projects, with a particular emphasis on the mediating role of risk mitigation strategies within the healthcare sector. A total of 406 valid responses were obtained from IT professionals, cybersecurity officers, and project managers across healthcare institutions using a structured online questionnaire. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with SmartPLS was employed to analyze the data and test the proposed hypotheses. The results revealed that both leadership style and budget allocation exert significant positive effects on cybersecurity project success. Moreover, risk mitigation strategies were found to mediate the relationships between the independent variables and project success, underscoring their critical role in translating managerial and financial support into effective cybersecurity outcomes. All hypotheses were supported. The findings offer key theoretical contributions to cybersecurity and project management literature and present actionable insights for healthcare administrators seeking to strengthen their cybersecurity posture through strategic leadership and efficient resource allocation.
