Abstract The increase in the use of information technology (IT) poses a challenge derived from the risks and threats of computer security in all areas of society. In this sense, cybersecurity emerges as an important pillar of support for protecting infrastructures essential for countries' sustainable economic and social development. This paper explores the possible links between cybersecurity and sustainable development within the high-impact scientific literature. The study uses a systematic literature review methodology based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) protocol, ensuring a rigorous and structured approach to selecting and analyzing relevant literature. The scientific database Web of Science is used to ensure the integrity and quality of the data collected, following criteria widely validated in this type of methodology. The study reveals a significant interrelationship between cybersecurity and sustainable development in the business sphere. It highlights cybersecurity's contribution to economic sustainability by protecting critical infrastructure and minimizing financial risks. Concerning environmental sustainability, cybersecurity facilitates the implementation of cleaner and more efficient technology. Social sustainability ensures personal data protection and fosters a culture of responsibility and trust within organizations.
