Cybersecurity has become a very hot topic due to high profile breaches that occurred in the past years. Despite the implementation of current known pre-emptive methods such as intrusion detection systems, anti-viruses, and the use of firewalls, hackers still find sophisticated means to steal data or impair an organization by targeting their assets. It is important that security professionals need to "think outside the box" and use new tools and techniques to mitigate threats beyond current known detections and prevention technologies. It is imperative that our infrastructure and assets are impermeable from domestic and foreign attackers. Our best line of defense is the detection of any threats or vulnerability to prevent or minimize damages of our assets from domestic and foreign attackers.

“…The existing studies in the IS security area that look into the behavioral aspects of the insiders have provided insights into the effects of insiders" dysfunctional behaviors on organizational IS assets. These can be seen in valuable work on IS security compliance/non-compliance behaviors [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] including motivations to comply with IS security policies [21][22][23][24], IS misuse [2,[25][26][27][28][29][30][31], and studies on computer abuse [32][33][34]. These IS security studies, however, have largely focused on nonmalicious and policy non-compliance behaviors [4,7].…”

Abstract. Our aim is to understand how information security awareness (ISA) programs affect the intention of employees for compliant information security behavior. We draw on Protection Motivation Theory (PMT) to uncover indirect influences of ISA programs, and seek to identify the extent to which intention translates into actual compliance is contingent on monitoring. Based on partial least squares structural equation modeling analysis of 183 survey responses consisting of German bank employees, we find strong empirical evidence for the importance of ISA programs, protection motivation and monitoring. While ISA programs effectively change how employees cope with and assess security threats, only coping appraisal is an important condition for the positive behavioral effects of such programs to occur. However, ISA programs may cause a false sense of security, as vulnerability perceptions are reduced by consuming ISA programs but not affecting intentions for compliant security behavior. Perceived monitoring strengthens this confirmed intention-behavior link.
