This research uses quantitative data analysis and a qualitative exploratory method to examine how organisations embrace innovative cybersecurity solutions. The study looks at organisational policies, governance frameworks, strategic approaches, and cultural aspects that affect technology adoption using a stratified random sample technique. Structured questionnaires & feedback forms provided the data, which were then analysed using AMOS and SPSS statistical software with an emphasis on structural equation modelling (SEM) to investigate correlations between variables. A supportive organisational culture positively correlates with technology adoption (χ² = 41.179, df = 31, p < 0.001, CMIN/DF = 1.328, RMSEA = 0.034), and organisations with a proactive strategic approach were more successful in implementing cybersecurity technologies (χ² = 50.400, df = 26, p < 0.001, CMIN/DF = 1.938, RMSEA = 0.058). The research also finds that while comprehensive policies influence adoption via efficient training programs, employee involvement completely mediates the association between organisational culture and technology adoption. These findings demonstrate how crucial culture, employee participation, strategic planning, and training are to the successful integration of cybersecurity technology.
