Purpose

The present study aims to identify and investigate the antecedents of enhanced level of cyber-security at the organisational level from both the technical and the human resource perspective using human–organisation–technology (HOT) theory.

Design/methodology/approach

The study has been conducted on 151 professionals who have expertise in dealing with cyber-security in organisations in sectors such as retail, education, healthcare, etc. in India. The analysis of the data is carried out using partial least squares based structural equation modelling technique (PLS-SEM).

Findings

The results from the study suggest that “legal consequences” and “technical measures” adopted for securing cyber-security in organisations are the most important antecedents for enhanced cyber-security levels in the organisations. The other significant antecedents for enhanced cyber-security in organisations include “role of senior management” and “proactive information security”.

Research limitations/implications

This empirical study has significant implications for organisations as they can take pre-emptive measures by focussing on important antecedents and work towards enhancing the level of cyber-security.

Originality/value

The originality of this research is combining both technical and human resource perspective in identifying the determinants of enhanced level of cyber-security in the organisations.

提高组织网络安全水平的前因

目的

本研究旨在使用人类-组织-技术（HOT）理论，从技术和人力资源的角度识别和调查组织层面网络安全水平提高的前因。

设计/方法/方法

这项研究是针对 151 名在印度零售、教育、医疗保健等部门的组织中具有处理网络安全专业知识的专业人员进行的。使用基于偏最小二乘的结构方程建模技术 (PLS-SEM) 进行数据分析。

发现

研究结果表明，为确保组织网络安全而采取的“法律后果”和“技术措施”是提高组织网络安全水平的最重要前提。组织中增强网络安全的其他重要前提包括“高级管理人员的角色”和“主动信息安全”。

研究限制/影响

这项实证研究对组织具有重大意义，因为他们可以通过关注重要的前因并努力提高网络安全水平来采取先发制人的措施。

原创性/价值

这项研究的独创性结合了技术和人力资源的观点，以确定组织中提高网络安全水平的决定因素。
