Abstract

Drawing inspiration from bureaucracy and information security literature, we develop the theory of security bureaucracy—an evolutionary framework that describes how organizations arrive at their information-securing approaches. Within this framework, we describe three general bureaucratic archetypes (i.e., Security Prototype, Security Structure, and Security Superstructure) that emerge from the interplay between control and expertise. We also expound on the phenomenon of security bureaucracy and delineate how organizations can transition from coercive “iron cages” to enabling “iron shields” in information securing. We also use our security establish-enforce-enculturate (3E) evolutionary framework to inform a proposed variance model of security bureaucracy. Our efforts offer significant insights and implications for organizational information security research and practice.

信息安全中的官僚机构:从铁笼过渡到铁盾
从官僚制和信息安全文献中汲取灵感,我们提出了安全官僚制理论--一个描述组织如何形成其信息安全方法的进化框架。在这一框架内,我们描述了三种一般的官僚机构原型(即安全原型、安全结构和安全上层建筑),它们产生于控制和专业知识之间的相互作用。我们还阐述了安全官僚主义现象,并描述了组织如何在信息安全中从强制的 "铁笼 "过渡到有利的 "铁盾"。我们还利用我们的安全建立-强化-文化(3E)演化框架,为提出的安全官僚主义差异模型提供信息。我们的努力为组织信息安全研究和实践提供了重要的启示和影响。

期刊介绍: Advances in information and communication technologies are associated with a wide and increasing range of social consequences, which are experienced by individuals, work groups, organizations, interorganizational networks, and societies at large. Information technologies are implicated in all industries and in public as well as private enterprises. Understanding the relationships between information technologies and social organization is an increasingly important and urgent social and scholarly concern in many disciplinary fields.Information and Organization seeks to publish original scholarly articles on the relationships between information technologies and social organization. It seeks a scholarly understanding that is based on empirical research and relevant theory.
