There have been several cyber-attacks worldwide, and South Africa has not been spared from the attacks since the country is embracing the digitalisation strategy. This resulted in several publications being made across different types of subjects in South Africa. This study aimed to conduct a bibliometric analysis of South African cybersecurity research from 2021 to 2025, aiming to map out the key contributors, thematic trends, and structural patterns within the literature. This study adopted a bibliometric analysis using VOSviewer version 1.6.19 software and Scopus databases. The data was collected from the years 2021 to 2025. Network visualisation, overlay visualisation, density visualisation and tables highlighting publications per year, type, sponsors and affiliations were done. The findings suggest that research in cybersecurity in South Africa increased between 2021 and 2023, which slightly declined in 2024. Furthermore, there has been an increase in cyber-attacks on literature. This aligns with what has been happening in the country. It is recommended that more research be conducted on cyber-attacks and a framework be developed that will help eliminate this phenomenon. Future research should focus on a conceptual paper that will investigate frameworks that can be used to address the increase in cyber-attacks.
