| Abstract: |
This study analyzes the factors that affect security protective behavior and perceived security incidents. Protective behavior is found to have a positive impact on the perceived security incidents, especially for the more educated home computer user. Human factors such as “perceived barriers” (to use new security software tools), “self-efficacy” (confidence), and “cues to action” (awareness) are found to influence both the protective behavior and perceived security incidents.
