Exploring the Relationship Between Technology Adoption and Cyber Security Compliance

Abstract

IT infrastructure and systems are made up of technical and social systems that work together to ensure that organization's goals and objectives are met. Security controls and measures are developed and used to protect an organization's data and information systems. To improve cyber security, organizations focus most of their efforts on incorporating new technological approaches in products and processes, leaving out the most important and vulnerable factor. So this study intends to provide some practical implications to the technology developers and policymakers while identifying the factors that affect cyber security compliance in an organization or home environment for general users, HR, IT administrators, engineers, and others. It explored the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 (UTAUT2) model and assessed the effect of its factors on cyber security compliance in organizations.
