Businesses and organizations around the world are increasingly concerned about cyber security. Understanding the various theories, models, standards and frameworks that underpin current practices is necessary to develop effective cybersecurity strategies. The existing cyber security theories, models, standards and frameworks are assessed in this review paper with a view to comparing their strengths and weaknesses. This paper summarizes findings from a thorough review of relevant peer-reviewed articles and lists key research areas for the coming years. Indeed, the Schwartz theory seems to be promising for improving cybersecurity in business and governance contexts on grounds that it is based upon verifiable observations and factor analysis from data collection. In addition, the Review Paper provides an overview of how different cybersecurity theories, models, standards and frameworks have been implemented in practice as well as highlights their challenges and successes. Finally, there is a summary on key findings and their implications for future cyber security research and practice. Keywords: Cybersecurity, Theories, Models, Standards, Frameworks.
