Abstract: This paper explores the critical intersection of cybersecurity and human resource (HR) management, emphasizing how cybersecurity awareness and robust policy enforcement can enhance HR compliance and ethical oversight in digital organizations. As HR functions increasingly manage sensitive data and operate within technology-driven ecosystems, they face heightened exposure to cyber threats such as phishing, data breaches, and insider attacks. The review highlights the evolving role of HR as both a custodian of organizational ethics and a key player in cybersecurity strategy, advocating for integrated frameworks that combine technical safeguards with behavioral accountability. Through an interdisciplinary lens, the study examines compliance challenges in remote work settings, ethical dilemmas surrounding employee surveillance, and the influence of leadership on cybersecurity culture. It also offers practical strategies for policy development, employee training, and incident response, while identifying future research gaps around AI integration, cross-functional collaboration, and longitudinal impact assessment.
