  text: The protection of information technology (IT) has become and is predicted
    to remain a key economic challenge for organizations. While research on IT security
    investment is fast growing, it lacks a theoretical basis for structuring research,
    explaining economic-technological phenomena and guide future research. We address
    this shortcoming by suggesting a new theoretical model emerging from a multi-theoretical
    perspective adopt-ing the Resource-Based View and the Organizational Learning
    Theory. The joint appli-cation of these theories allows to conceptualize in one
    theoretical model the organiza-tional learning effects that occur when the protection
    of organizational resources through IT security countermeasures develops over
    time. We use this model of IT security invest-ments to synthesize findings of
    a large body of literature and to derive research gaps. We also discuss managerial
    implications of (closing) these gaps by providing practical ex-amples.
