Cybersecurity end-user compliance: Password management versus update compliance

    Research output: Journal Article or Conference Article in JournalJournal articleResearchpeer-review

    Abstract

    In today's world, organizations rely on cybersecurity end-user compliance as an essential practical parameter. Yet cybersecurity compliance remains a challenge, and failures are commonplace. But why? In addressing this question, we argue that ISP compliance is neither too monolithic nor too granular a construct but needs respecification. We empirically investigate cybersecurity antecedents leading to (i) user protection-centric password management and (ii) system protection-centric update compliance dimensions. The results of our survey of 241 users show differentiating behavioral strands intertwined across different types of compliance, highlighting a unique interplay of attitudes, knowledge, and social factors as antecedents to password and update compliance.
