Abstract

Overconfidence has been shown to have a detrimental effect on information security in enterprises. However, research on this systematic misperception of one’s abilities and skills is fragmented, and evidence on who is at risk of overconfidence is scarce. Using a cluster analysis in conjunction with a large-scale survey of 2,867 employees of a pharmaceutical company, we examine information security overconfidence and identify commonalities between risk groups. Our findings help raise awareness and understanding of this widespread phenomenon and can help design appropriate interventions.
