“…Governments across the world stress on the issue of cybercrimes due to instances of reputational damage of data breaches in numerous organizations and government systems [26]. Government agencies responsible for critical e-government infrastructure require a consistent and iterative approach for identification, assessment, and management of cybersecurity risks [27]. The case of Saudi Arabia is perfect for consideration, in this regard, due to the variables that characterize its various e-government operations.…”

The evolution of information systems has escalated significantly within the last decade as research unveils new concepts. The general orientation to provide solutions to complex problems continues to inspire innovation and new advancements. Cybersecurity is emerging as a critical factor for consideration within the resultant paradigm as information systems become significantly integrated. This paper provides an in-depth analysis of cybersecurity within the context of information systems. The paper examines some of the most consequential aspects of cybersecurity from the perspective of an e-government project in Saudi Arabia. A holistic system is proposed within the research framework to incorporate various scientific guidelines. The general orientation of this research is predicated on the aspiration to design and implement a complex and robust framework within which an e-government system can thrive within the Saudi Arabian context. A consideration of the physical environment within which the project will operate is also made, focusing on security. An evaluation of the cybersecurity environment in Saudi Arabia is reflective of significant advancements that have occurred in information system domains within the past few years.

“…For instance, the US ranked 11, Thailand ranked 73; Nigeria ranked 143 in the e-government development index (e-government survey, 2018). Recently, the security assessment of the e-government websites of Australia and Thailand has revealed that Australia stands higher on the adoption of cybersecurity practices than Thailand (Thompson et al, 2020). Moreover, Australia ranked higher than Thailand in the e-government development index (e-government survey, 2018).…”

“…For example, a high-profile data breach happened in the US Office of Personnel Management (OPM) which exposed 21.5 million records and has done very little to improve the information security issues (Wagstaff et al, 2015). Thus, it was unclear whether e-government development leads to cybersecurity commitment and avoids the possible negative impacts on businesses and economic development (Thompson et al, 2020). Although there are perceptible linkages between e-government development, cybersecurity commitment, businesses and the economy, it is surprising that this relationship has not been explored much in current cybersecurity literature.…”

“…A few studies, which address the macro-economic perspective, only focus on one of the impact variables. For instance, a study conducted by Thompson et al (2020) focuses on comparing the e-government website's security across two countries whose e-government development levels are different. Thus, there is an imperative need to conduct large-scale quantitative empirical studies exploring the relationships between e-government, cyber commitment and outcome impacts.…”

Purpose This study aims to propose a model to examine the relationships between e-government development, cybersecurity commitment, business usage and economic prosperity of the country. Design/methodology/approach Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the country-level variables to explain the second-order impact of e-government development through the mediating role of cybersecurity commitment. Findings Findings suggest that e-government development demonstrated a stronger association with cybersecurity commitment and business usage. There is preliminary evidence that the improvement of cybersecurity measures initiated by e-government development will drive business usage and improve macroeconomic conditions. Research limitations/implications This paper has constructed a theoretical model and validated it using publicly available archival data. Further, this study hypothesizes and demonstrates empirically the direct, as well as indirect relationships between e-government development, cybersecurity commitment, business usage and economic prosperity. To summarize, the study unearths the role of a nation’s cybersecurity commitment and how it is associated with other macro parameters in a country. Originality/value As an initial step, the present study highlights the pivotal role of e-government and its positive influence on cybersecurity commitment at the country level. Further, this study also recognizes the role of cyber commitment to boost information communication and technology usage in business, the use of e-government services for the profitability of the business and effectively influence economic prosperity.

“…Security can be defined as the degree to which a government website protects itself against unauthorized access and attack (Thompson et al, 2020). As anticipated, security is of the utmost significance to people when it comes to online government services, particularly when dealing with public services including personal data and financial transactions (Blut, 2016).…”

The current paper aims to propose a framework for investigating the level of acceptance of the users for e-government services. The proposed model consists of two main independent variables. The first factor is the perceived usefulness with two-constructs, namely: perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. The second independent variable is trust, which has three sub-constructs: perceived risk, perceived privacy and perceived security. The proposed model hypothesizes that these variables have a positive effect on the users' acceptance for egovernment services. The proposed model also hypothesizes that knowledge technology has a positive effect on the relationship between the independent and dependent variables. This model could help to understand the level of acceptance of the users for e-government services, especially that it has focused on both positive and negative factors that might influence the users' acceptance of e-government services.
