abstract: Resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, which requires mankind to practice social distancing, companies and government agencies do not have any options but to send their workers home and practice remote working. With very limited guidance, workers are required to work remotely by utilizing various software facilitated by Internet. The increased dependence on the cyberspace opens up the organization to become highly vulnerable to cyber threats/crimes, which may affect their performance. Hence, organizations need to manage their cyber risk by ensuring that they are capable to manage software security. Therefore, this study aims to propose a new software security readiness model that is able to measure the level of organizational readiness for workers working remotely. The readiness model enables the organizations to take proactive actions for continuously improving their weaknesses related to cyber threats. Furthermore, the model can be used as guidance to develop policy for the organization specifically and for the country (Cybersecurity Malaysia) for ethical use of digital technologies especially for remote working. © 2023 Little Lion Scientific.
