or ‘cyber deviants’ when they do not comply with the prescribed security rules. Whether the negative perspective is a paradigm (Morgan, 1980) can be discussed, but there are certain prevalent metaphors such as the human being “the weakest link” in the information
security chain. Using criminological theories, such as deterrence and neutralization theory, persuades us to accept the assumption that a non-compliant employee is performing a “white collar crime” (Straub, 1989, p.154). Further, to Morgan’s (1980) classification,
