Hypothesis testing was conducted through regression analysis, employing E-Views version 10. Cyber resilience significantly influenced operational security, indicated by acoefficient of 1.060231 and an R-squared value of 95.45%, highlighting its role inprotecting operational integrity. Furthermore, institutional resilience greatly impacted economic sustainability, with a coefficient of 1.078565 and an R-squared value of 95.72%, underscoring the necessity of resilient institutional structures for economicstability. These findings confirm that cyber and institutional resilience are critical to SME performance in Anambra East. Consequently, the study recommends adopting advanced time management tools, enhancing cybersecurity measures, and establishing robust institutional frameworks to ensure long-term sustainability and operational efficiency. The study provides valuable insights for policy makers and business leaders aiming to enhance infrastructure resilience and support the growth of SMEs in Nigeria. |
