Examining Information Security Challenges through a Diversity Lens: A Literature study

This study is based on an extensive review of the literature on information systems security. The review focused on topics such as security behavior, security culture, security policies, and compliance. Using a synthesis of 20 selected research studies, we present our findings in a narrative format to provide a rich understanding of the subject. Our results suggest that the field of information systems security is still in its early stages of development. The ever-evolving technological landscape has made security attacks increasingly sophisticated, posing significant challenges for organizations. Our analysis reveals that security behavior, organizational culture, and context are diverse and complex, requiring a nuanced approach to designing security policies that can achieve compliance. This nuanced approach should consider factors such as leadership, trust-building, awareness, and security behavior. Finally, we provide suggestions for future research in this field.
