Abstract

ABSTRACT8 Cybercrimes have an adverse impact on the reputation and economy of a nation. This paper investigates the factors that affect the frequency of cybercrime originating within a country. These factors were grouped into three categories, namely, economic capital, technological capital, and cybersecurity preparedness. On analyzing the data from 124 countries, it emerges that the economic capital and technological capital of a country are the primary factors that influence the frequency of cybercrime originating within it. Technological capital also partially mediates the relationship between economic capital and the frequency of cybercrime originating within the nation. Furthermore, the cybersecurity preparedness of a nation negatively moderates the relationship between technological capital and frequency of cybercrime originating within it. The findings have significant implications for policymakers at the national level and managers at the organizational level concerning cybersecurity preparedness. They should focus on both hard (legal, technical, organizational) and soft (training and co-operational) aspects of cybersecurity preparation to minimize the incidence of cybercrime within a nation.

网络犯罪起源于一个国家的决定因素:一项跨国研究

摘要网络犯罪对一个国家的声誉和经济有着不利的影响。本文研究了影响国内网络犯罪发生频率的因素。这些因素被分为三类，即经济资本、技术资本和网络安全准备。通过对124个国家的数据分析发现，一个国家的经济资本和技术资本是影响其国内网络犯罪发生频率的主要因素。技术资本在经济资本与国内网络犯罪发生频率之间也起到部分中介作用。此外，一个国家的网络安全准备负向调节技术资本与网络犯罪频率之间的关系。研究结果对国家层面的政策制定者和组织层面的管理人员在网络安全准备方面具有重要意义。他们应该把重点放在网络安全准备的硬(法律、技术、组织)和软(培训和合作)方面，以尽量减少一个国家内网络犯罪的发生率。
