As our units of analysis are ISPs, it is important to take the national context into account. However, cybercrime is a transborder phenomenon and the international context is therefore also relevant. The incentive structure of a particular ISP is shaped by institutional and organisational factors. These two sets of factors are interrelated in many ways.

These instititional factors cannot be seen as sufficient instruments to increase cybersecurity. We observe substantial variability among ISPs subject to the same set of institutional incentives. Thus, such measures at the institutional level, while possibly necessary conditions to enhance security, are, taken by themselves, not sufficient. Regarding the ISPs a key finding is the degree of stability of the set of ISPs that are harboring the highest number of infections both in absolute and in relative terms.
