The Push and Pull of Cybersecurity Adoption: A Positional Paper

Abstract

The intensity and frequency of cyber breaches has brought cybersecurity into the spotlight. This has led to cybersecurity becoming a major concern and stream of research for practitioners and researchers alike. However, despite the negative effects associated with cyber breaches, there remains a limited understanding surrounding the adoption of cybersecurity measures. Specifically, to date, how the interaction of external and internal forces affect cybersecurity adoption remains unclear. We provide an overview of the reasons for a passive posture against cybersecurity, as well as the internal and external forces that push for cybersecurity adoption. We examine the tension of the push and pull of internal and external forces, identify a gap, and propose future research directions.
