This paper presents an overview of the empirical evidence concerning the nature of computer abuse against organizations and viable control mechanisms. A model of perpetrator motivation is presented and General Deterrence Theory is proposed as an appropriate theoretical basis for the design and implementation of computer abuse countermeasures. In this theoretical context, specific actions that computer security specialists, information systems managers, and EDP auditors can take to reduce the likelihood of computer abuse in their organizations are proposed.
