Abstract
With the rapid advancement of digital technologies, information security enterprises face unprecedented challenges and opportunities. Against this backdrop, this study focuses on information security enterprises, examining how digital innovation and digital transformation influence technological innovation through digital disruption. It aims to reveal the impact mechanisms of digital innovation, digital transformation, and digital disruption on technological innovation within information security enterprises by investigating the interactions and influence pathways among these variables. Drawing upon dynamic capability theory, the technology-organization-environment (TOE) framework, digital disruption theory, and the digital transformation maturity model, a theoretical model was constructed to capture the relationships among digital innovation, digital transformation, digital disruption, and technological innovation. This study collected 446 valid samples from Chinese information security enterprises through questionnaire surveys. Empirical analyses included reliability and validity assessments, correlation tests, difference tests, and structural equation modeling (SEM). The findings reveal that both digital innovation and digital transformation significantly and directly promote technological innovation within information security enterprises. Furthermore, digital disruption plays a crucial mediating role between these two factors and technological innovation. This research not only enriches theoretical studies on digital innovation and transformation pathways in the information security field but also provides practical guidance for enterprises to achieve technological innovation during digital transformation. Additionally, it offers a reference basis for government and industry regulators in formulating relevant policies, demonstrating significant theoretical value and practical significance.
