“…Integrating the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) into cybersecurity strategies offers a structured framework to shape attitudes, address subjective norms, and enhance perceived behavioral control. By applying TPB principles in the context of healthcare cybersecurity, organizations may gain understanding of the factors that influence behavioral change among healthcare personnel, analyzing the effectiveness of training programs, and uncovering methods to facilitate a cultural shift toward cybersecurity awareness (Nifakos et al, 2021;Alanazi et al, 2022). This empowers organizations to foster a culture of cybersecurity awareness and preparedness.…”

“…In the context of TPB, attitude encompasses an individual's perception of the importance of following security protocols and best practices to protect confidential data (Alanazi et al, 2022). By fostering a culture that emphasizes the importance of cybersecurity and making it a priority, healthcare organizations can positively influence employees' attitudes towards embracing cybersecurity.…”

Cybersecurity is becoming increasingly crucial specifically for healthcare organizations. The advent of digital technologies such as telemedicine, the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), and cloud-based solutions has brought about transformative advancements in patient care and administrative processes. However, with this progress comes an array of cyber threats that can have adversarial consequences if managed ineffectively. Driven by the growing concerns within the realm of cybersecurity, this paper delves into the issues and challenges faced by healthcare organizations in the deployment of cyber technologies. The research aims to dissect the multifaceted issues and challenges that contribute to compromised cybersecurity measures, resulting in potential data and system breaches. The study seeks to offer valuable insights, thereby paving the way for informed strategies and solutions to enhance cyber defenses and mitigate risks of unauthorized access and data breaches.

Key goal for this study was to conduct a real network traffic sample dataset and did a deep mining to survey for secure the Saudi community by report how the Saudi cyberspace’s pattern is. A kind of a heterogenous simultaneous optical multiprocessor exchange bus architecture used as a backbone network for collecting the network traffic. First, crucial cleaning processes were performed to clean the very noisy and dirty dataset. A total of 1048575 datapoints and 22 features were considered for the model/data evaluation processes. Second, Lazy predict mechanism was recruited to nominate the top-ranking learning models candidates. Third, a powerful supervised computation algorithms used to shape and picture the terra-Byte payload traffic across the Saudi cyber domain. Finally, for choosing the best Saudi cybercrime classification model, an intense digging processes were experimented and analyzed. Performance metrics used are accuracy (Acc), balanced accuracy (BAcc), F1-score, learning time taken, and confusion matrix. Evaluating the performance of different models based on “Destination” as target decision tree classifier (DTC) was the first model (i.e., highest BAcc with low time taken) and Saudi Arabia was the 9th country as a generated source target.

“…Donalds and Osei-Bryson [25] also provided empirical evidence for the effects of security awareness on both password compliance and overall general compliance behavior. In their recent research, Alanazi et al [49] reported that young adults' perceived awareness of cyber threats strongly influenced cybersecurity behaviors. In line with past studies, we argue that employees with security awareness tend to demonstrate cybersecurity compliance behaviors.…”

The growing number of attacks on crucial cyber networks is one of humanity’s most significant security threats. Combining technological solutions with the convenient cybersecurity behavior of the human factor is necessary to reduce the effects of these attacks. In this study, the impact of individual decision-making styles on cybersecurity compliance behavior was examined. A conceptual framework was developed based on the protective motivation theory, and it was tested with a data set representing the survey results of 668 employees and students with work experience. Regression analyses were performed to evaluate the impacts of individuals’ decision-making styles on cybersecurity compliance behaviors. Results showed that the decision-making styles of individuals affected their cybersecurity compliance behaviors, and these effects showed significant differences according to their decision-making styles. The study also confirmed that security awareness was another important indicator of cybersecurity compliance behavior. Our research provided new insight into the effects of individual decision-making styles on cybersecurity compliance behavior.
