Abstract

HEIs Higher education institutions (HEIs) are open in their nature, decentralized, rich in population and private data, home to some ground-breaking research and innovations. They attract quite a substantial threat and cyberattacks due to their heavy reliance on the Internet. However, there is poor cybersecurity culture and low awareness that are motivated by generational differences that are characterized by “digital natives” and “digital residents” and gaps in technology savviness impacting cybersecurity compliance in specific higher education environments. The understanding of cybersecurity and organizational culture, compliance theory and protected motivated theory (PMT) respectively is key to achieving cybersecurity compliance.

摘要

HEI 高等教育机构 (HEI) 本质上是开放的、分散的、拥有丰富的人口和私人数据，是一些突破性研究和创新的发源地。由于对互联网的严重依赖，他们吸引了相当大的威胁和网络攻击。然而，由于以“数字原住民”和“数字居民”为特征的代际差异以及影响特定高等教育环境中网络安全合规性的技术能力差距，导致网络安全文化薄弱和意识低下。分别理解网络安全和组织文化、合规理论和保护动机理论 (PMT) 是实现网络安全合规的关键。
