Cyber + Culture Early Warning Study examined the role of culture in cyber behaviors when kinetic activities are involved.

Abstract: Hofstede, Hofstede and Minkov (2010) said, “Culture is everything.” Hofstede et al. (2010) claimed that culture acts as mental software, and influences all decisions, including technology usage. Yet a lack of studies exists in support of this generalized assertion. One potential test and measure of this statement by Hofstede et al. (2010) results in the examination of social network adoption rates within the framework of Hofstede’s cultural dimensions.

Abstract: Hofstede, Hofstede and Minkov (2010) said, “Culture is everything.” Hofstede et al. (2010) claimed that culture acts as mental software, and influences all decisions, including technology usage. Yet a lack of studies exists in support of this generalized assertion. One potential test and measure of this statement by Hofstede et al. (2010) results in the examination of social network adoption rates within the framework of Hofstede’s cultural dimensions.

Three well-known social networking sites were chosen for this study: Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter. A comparison that examines the percentage adoption rates globally within Hofstede’s six dimensions of culture was performed, using statistical analysis. These results provided the the basis necessary in order to determine if a relationship exists between culture and social networking adoption rates.

The findings suggest a correlation between specific cultural values, some that differ across the three selected applications: Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter. All three of the services examined revealed a strong relationship with indulgence and adoption rates. Other dimensions showed varying results across the three applications. Also observed was a noticeable lack of activity in certain dimensional values, these non-results also suggests a potential relationship between cultural dimensions and non-behaviors

Computer Network Attack (CNA) attribution presents on going challenges for information security professionals. What is needed is a new way to assist in attribution performance; this method must be technology independent. Culture offers a technology independent vector for analysing CNAs. The human mind uses both conscious and unconscious thought, and both of these processes are culturally influenced. This researcher seeks to determine if those cultural influences leave traces in CNA choices and behaviors.

Hofstede’s cultural dimensions provide a framework for evaluating and understanding various behaviors. Hofstede’s framework has been used in academia and business for research in order to better understand other cultures. Hofstede avails his data for researchers in all disciplines. The goal of this study is to determine if Hofstede’s framework can be applied to the cyber environment in order to understand CNAs with the hope of greater understanding of cyber adversary behaviors.

The preliminary findings support the hypothesis: culture influences CNA choices and behaviors. Two sets of data were examined across all six cultural dimensions. The analyzed data displayed statistically significant findings across three dimensions: power distance, individualism versus collectivism, and indulgence versus restraint.

The tests performed were quantitative and included means comparison tests for the first data set, and group comparison tests in the second data set. The findings revealed valuable data in both the easily seen visible results, and in the areas that lacked data. These findings suggest that culture not only influences CNA choices and behaviors, but may also influence non-behaviors. The results of this research study suggest the need for additional research targeted toward specific cultural dimensions.

Culture, according to Hofstede, Hofstede and Minkov (2010) acts as “software of the mind”. This mental software should logically extend into computer network attack (CNA) behaviours. Sample (2013), successfully inferred this relationship when examining the relationship between nationalistic, patriotic website defacements and Hofstede’s cultural dimensions. However, Sample’s study (2013) dealt with a limited size data set, and only inferred the relationship between culture and CNA behaviours.… 展开

Culture, according to Hofstede, Hofstede and Minkov (2010) acts as “software of the mind”. This mental software should logically extend into computer network attack (CNA) behaviours. Sample (2013), successfully inferred this relationship when examining the relationship between nationalistic, patriotic website defacements and Hofstede’s cultural dimensions. However, Sample’s study (2013) dealt with a limited size data set, and only inferred the relationship between culture and CNA behaviours. This study advances the research by first, using a larger data set, and second, determining the nature of the relationship between culture and the number of these types of attacks.

Geert Hofstede’s cultural dimensions provide a framework for evaluating and understanding various behaviours. Hofstede’s framework has been used in academia and business for research in order to better understand other cultures. Hofstede avails his data for researchers in all disciplines. The goal of this study is to determine the nature of the relationship between Hofstede’s power distance index (PDI) and individualism versus collectivism (IVC) cultural dimensions as these behaviours relate to nationalistic, patriotic themed website defacements.

The preliminary findings re-affirm the existence of a relationship between high PDI values, low IVC values, and nationalistic, patriotic themed website defacements. The analysed data displayed significant findings across these two dimensions, and a noticeable lack of activity on the opposite end of the dimensional pole was observed. The non-results also suggest a potential link between cultural dimensions and non-behaviours. The tests performed were quantitative and included means comparison tests. Additionally, a new relationship was identified across a third dimension, Long-Term Orientation versus Short-Term Orientation (LTOvSTO). The final analysis will contain both these results and the correlational testing results.
