Abstract: Knowledge management (KM) is a tool to tackle cybersecurity issues, provided it emphasizes on the interrelated social, organizational, and technological factors involved in cybersecurity. This paper proposes a sociotechnical systems analysis framework of KM systems for cybersecurity. Specifically, it applies a sociotechnical systems approach to investigation of constructs of KM systems for cybersecurity and identifies five major constructs of KM systems for cybersecurity: roles of KM in cybersecurity, organizational framework of KM for cybersecurity, cybersecurity analytics process, tools of KM for cybersecurity, and system architecture of KM for cybersecurity. The five constructs in the proposed sociotechnical systems analysis framework are analyzed. The paper makes contribution to the growing information systems literature by presenting a special case of sociotechnical systems analysis. The sociotechnical systems analysis framework provides guidelines for the development of KM systems for cybersecurity in organizations.
