A diagram of the theoretical framework for cybersecurity. The diagram starts with a central box labeled Cybersecurity at the top. This box connects to two main branches: Criminology theory on the left and Information system theory on the right. Under Criminology theory, there are three sub-branches: RAT, RCT, and STT. RAT stands for Routine Activity Theory, where technology moderates target suitability and guardianship. RCT stands for Rational Choice Theory, where technology moderates perceived risk-benefit decisions. STT stands for Social Theory of Technology, where technology moderates technical system and social structure. Under Information system theory, there is one sub-branch labeled TAM, which stands for Technology Acceptance Model. In TAM, technology moderates criminal intention and cybercrime perpetration.The theoretical framework employed in this study. Source: Authors’ own work
