This has contributed to open digital collaborations and has seemingly offered the integration of IoTs, Big Data Analytics and Cloud Computing to support data sourcing, data analytics and storage to synchronize on a single platform. Notwithstanding the benefits derived from digital technology integration such as IoTs, Big Data Analytics and Cloud Computing, digital vulnerabilities and threats have become a more significant concern for users. Addressing these challenges from an information systems perspective reveals a sparsity of research contributions delineating potential vulnerabilities and threats affecting the integration of IoTs, BDA and CC for data management. In this regard, this study explores and provides a step-by-step analysis of the potential vulnerabilities and threats failures affecting the integration of IoTs, Big Data Analytics and Cloud Computing towards data management. The study combined a multidimensional analysis, Failure Mode Effect Analysis and Fuzzy Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity for Ideal Solution to evaluate and rank the potential vulnerabilities and threats affecting emerging technology integration. This study used a sample of 234 security experts from the banking industry with adequate knowledge in IoTs, Big Data Analytics and Cloud Computing for the survey. The results revealed a lack of backup electric generator, failure of firewall protection and lack of information security audit as the high-ranking vulnerabilities and threats failures based on the closeness of coefficient scores to significantly affect Internet of Things, Big Data and Cloud Computing integration. This study is an extension of the discussions of pervasive vulnerabilities and threats originating from integrating digital applications and platforms for data management. A detailed review and classification of these threats and vulnerabilities are vital for sustaining digital integration for firms. A framework for assessing and evaluating digital security vulnerabilities and threats was further proposed to support financial institutions quests to identify the occurrence, severity and detectability of risks ER -
