Exploring the Frontiers of Cybersecurity Behavior: ASystematic Review of Studies and Theories
Cybersecurity procedures and policies are prevalent countermeasures for protecting organi zations from cybercrimes and security incidents. Without considering human behaviors, implement ing these countermeasures will remain useless. Cybersecurity behavior has gained much attention in recent years. H...

| description | Cybersecurity procedures and policies are prevalent countermeasures for protecting organi zations from cybercrimes and security incidents. Without considering human behaviors, implement ing these countermeasures will remain useless. Cybersecurity behavior has gained much attention in recent years. However, a systematic review that provides extensive insights into cybersecurity behavior through different technologies and services and covers various directions in large-scale research remains lacking. Therefore, this study retrieved and analyzed 2210 articles published on cybersecurity behavior. The retrieved articles were then thoroughly examined to meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria, in which 39 studies published between 2012 and 2021 were ultimately picked for further in-depth analysis. The main findings showed that the protection motivation theory (PMT) dominated the list of theories and models examining cybersecurity behavior. Cybersecurity behavior and intention behavior counted for the highest purpose for most studies, with fewer studies focusing on cybersecurity awareness and compliance behavior. Most examined studies were conducted in individualistic contexts with limited exposure to collectivistic societies. A total of 56% of the analyzed studies focused on the organizational level, indicating that the individual level is still in its infancy stage. To address the research gaps in cybersecurity behavior at the individual level, this review proposes a number of research agendas that can be considered in future research. This review is believed to improve our understanding by revealing the full potential of cybersecurity behavior and opening the door for further research opportunities. |
