This study examines the domain of cybersecurity in relation to global software development (GSD), investigating its risks, challenges, and methodologies via an exhaustive review of the literature and survey. The results underscore the complex and diverse aspects of cybersecurity in GSD and emphasize the critical significance of global frameworks including OWASP, NIST, and ISO/IEC 27001 in providing direction for secure development procedures among teams that are geographically separated. Notwithstanding challenges such as inexperience and limited resources, the organizations that were surveyed exhibit a dedication to augmenting security measures via training initiatives, automated technologies, and fostering a culture of consciousness. Although practitioners have a moderate amount of faith in current cybersecurity frameworks, there are areas where they could be enhanced to be more comprehensive and to be easier to implement in a variety of contexts.
