Abstract
Cyberstalking is a significant and highly challenging problem in the era of Internet and technology. When dealing with cyberstalking, both institutions and governments share in the problem of how to manage it and where to allocate resources in the context of security and privacy. Hence, it is important to understand how individuals affected by Cyberstalking feel about the problem and how it can be managed in the context of cybersecurity. This issue is especially pronounced in India where cyberstalking has become a pervasive menace and solutions are urgently required. Therefore, in this paper we conduct a Delphi study to explore the security and privacy concerns of both men and women in India in order to understand differences and commonalities of the two groups. The goal is to illuminate the preferred cybersecurity prevention methods of men and women in India which can ultimately lead to the creation of more effective policy.
