Abstract

This paper develops the concept of accidental insecure behavior (AIB) by noting that many insecure behaviors in organizations are not intentional violations of policy but unintended accidents. These behaviors are costly to businesses and users, but most IS research has focused on intentional behaviors. We use the systems theory of accident causation to develop our model of AIB. Implications and future research directions are given.
