Insiders' Adaptations to Security Demands with Clay Posey and Tom Roberts

Protecting organizational information systems and information assets is a complex undertaking for both security professionals and end-users. In this episode of Cyber Ways, we discuss behavioral complexity as it relates to end-users' security behaviors with Dr. Clay Posey of Brigham Young University and Dr. Tom Roberts of the University of Texas at Tyler. We talk with Drs. Posey and Roberts about their 2017 paper, Insiders' Adaptations to Security-Based Demands in the Workplace: An Examination of Security Behavioral Control, which was published in Information Systems Frontiers.
