There are some factors or reasons which influences the end-users decision to report an incident or not. Two main factors are end-users personal interest and responsibility feeling and the organization’s strict policies to rewards the users who report any important incident. For example, if the end-user reports an incident to the incident response team and incident response team did not take the case seriously and ignores the issue raised by the end-user. This kind of occurrence will make the end-users demotivated and not interested in following up on the issue raised by them. If on the other hand if an end-user reports an incident and the incident response team start working on it and keep a follow up with the end-user by asking the additional details of the incident and the solution for the issue. Other case is when an end-user when reporting an incident gets some kind of reward or additional benefits they fell interested and more vigilant about any suspicious activities on the system (Katerina, 2014) – Aruna Yadav
