Abstract
ABSTRACT An understanding of strategic behavior in cyberspace is often premised on the uncertainty inherent in the domain. However, little is said regarding the exact nature of this uncertainty and the underlying motivations that direct attempts at overcoming it. In response, this article advances a cognitive-cultural explanation of strategic behavior in cyberspace and argues that behavioral preferences arise from the schematic use of strategic culture as a remedy for uncertainty. However, the suitability of these preferences is moderated by the presence of accuracy goals. These accuracy goals must, in turn, dictate the extent to which these are deemed suitable. While two decades of cybersecurity research hints at the presence and significance of these mechanisms, little effort has gone into advancing this line of inquiry. Consequently, the article consolidates these findings into a robust analytical framework to explain strategic behavior in cyberspace.
