### Descriptive Results
The study sought to determine the government's influence in the relationship between cyber security and civil protection, and the results are presented in Table 7.  
According to the results in Table 6, the majority of the study participants (64.6%) agreed that cybersecurity reduction influences the performance of critical infrastructure such as power plants, electricity grids, communication networks, and cloud systems. A total of 51.2% of the study participants agreed that cybersecurity risk mitigation is possible through the utilization of security policies and processes to reduce the overall risk or impact of cybercrimes. In total, 80.3% of the study participants agreed with the notion that the prevention, detection, and remediation attributes in cybersecurity help in disaster management; 53.5% of the study participants agreed that proactive cybersecurity risk mitigation enhances disaster preparedness in organizations and in the general public; and 64.3% agreed that implementing new cybersecurity technologies helps to mitigate the different threats to poor civil protection. The study sought to determine the government's influence in the relationship between cyber security and civil protection, and the results are presented in Table 7. \begin{table}

Table 7: Opinions on the government’s influence in the relationship between cyber security and civil protection. The results in Table 7 show that the majority of the study participants (84.3%) disagreed with the notion that the analysis of cybersecurity issues has continued to weaken due to limited involvement of the government in addressing causes of cybercrime. The study showed that large portions of the Critical National Infrastructure in the majority of OECD nations are privately owned rather than being under direct government authority as agreed by 53.5% of the study participants. A total of 51.7% of the study participants agreed that numerous civilian systems are susceptible to cybersecurity flaws and assaults; therefore, a solely military strategy to cybersecurity defense has minimal utility.
