Abstract

This study considers the framework of neutralization techniques, which responds to the attitude/rationalization leg of the fraud triangle with respect to the dark triad of personality traits' predictability toward compliant cybersecurity behaviour. Logically, organizations focus on reducing the insider's motivation and opportunities for malfeasance. However, it may be prudent to consider the rationalization for insider crime, which is arguably the most obscure element. This study is a unique contribution as it considers both the roles of neutralization techniques and the dark triad of personality traits with respect to insider threats and compliance intention. Furthermore, the specific categories of neutralization techniques will be considered as antecedents towards insider maleficence.
