ABSTRACT. Several Enterprises are adopting Enterprise Networks due to their benefits like remote file storage, resource sharing, and improved communication. Due to a large number of target groups, cyber-attackers have exploited vulnerabilities in the Enterprise Networks to launch cyber-attacks on these networks thus resulting into data theft and financial losses to the enterprises. In this study a Dynamic Enterprise Network Cyber Security Analysis Model that considers the ever changing components of enterprise networks was developed and implemented on windows operating system. Purposive sampling was used to select key informants with technical knowledge about cyber security. Primary data was collected using closed-ended questionnaires and secondary data was collected from analysis of scholarly articles, books, conference papers, and journals. Expert opinion guided the testing and implementation of the developed model.
