N1 -  Our study has found that the dual-use technology has both positive and negative effects on information system security. The ease of use of the dual-use security software facilitates security breaches and enterprises are using vulnerable open source security libraries and frameworks to develop their own in-house applications. On a positive note, open source dual-use security software is used as a powerful defense tool against attackers. Our study also found that security awareness is the key to maintaining the right level of information security risk in the dual-use context. Dual-use can also be of a great help to organizations in leveraging their information system security.
