Abstract
Organizations integrate information security measures through information security planning and policy development. This study aims to examine how the extent of collaborative exchange within the organization and extent of formalization of the information security function impact the effective utilization of well-established information security objectives. The security objectives of interest, described in general deterrence theory, are deterrence, detection and recovery. This study finds that organizations that exhibit higher levels of collaborative exchange and develop and implement more information security policies are more effectively utilizing the information security strategies of detection, deterrence and recovery. This study highlights the importance of the complementary nature of collaborative exchange and formalization within the information security discipline.
