Rapid advances in digital technologies have led to the widespread adoption of the Digital Twin concept, a virtual representation of physical systems, across many sectors. Used in diverse fields such as industrial manufacturing, healthcare, and energy management, digital twin technology enables real-time monitoring, analysis, and optimization of systems. However, the constant data exchange between digital twins and physical systems makes them vulnerable to cyber threats and increases their security vulnerabilities (Alcaraz & Lopez, 2022). The need to ensure the security of digital twin systems has led to a rapid increase in research conducted at the intersection of this technology and cybersecurity. However, the literature demonstrates a limited number of analyses systematically addressing the structural trends, academic collaboration networks, and thematic developments of studies conducted at the intersection of these two fields. Digital twin technologies, which serve as real-time virtual representations of physical systems, are being increasingly utilised in critical infrastructures, industrial automation systems, and manufacturing processes. The constant data flow, cloud based connectivity, and direct interaction of these technologies with sensitive operational information make them vulnerable to cyberattacks. This has increased academic interest in the security and resilience of digital twin systems, particularly in the context of cybersecurity, and has accelerated efforts to protect these systems (Alcaraz & Lopez, 2022; Sun, Zhang, & Zhu, 2024).
