Overview:

More firms outsource Information Technology (IT) security activities each year, as they determine that they can achieve cost savings or a higher level of security at the same cost. However, despite the estimated benefits, many firms still fail to see a clear positive net benefit from their (private) perspective, given the risks and costs involved. This paper investigates the positive externalities associated with IT security outsourcing.

This paper analyzes how a variety of decision characteristics affect whether and to what level such positive externalities will result.
