Abstract

Although three types of the information security measures (technical, physical and managerial ones) are all together critical to maintaining information security in the organizations and should be implemented at the same time, this study aims at providing theoretical basis of establishing and implementing effective managerial security measures. The rationale behind this research objective is that it is very important to effectively perform the managerial security measures to achieve the target performance level of the technical and the physical security measures because main agents of practicing the information security measures in the organizations are staff members even though the technical and the physical ones are well constructed and implemented. In particular, this study intends to develop and propose the theoretical model applicable to providing the way of improving organizational members' intention to use information security technologies since the very intention to use them is essential to effectively establishing and promoting managerial security measures. In order to achieve the objective of this study, the factors critical to influencing upon the intention to use information security technologies are derived through systematically reviewing related theories and previous studies, and then the research model and hypotheses are proposed by logically reasoning the casual relationship among the these factors. Also, the empirical analyses are performed by conducting the survey of the organization members of domestic large companies and analyzing the structural equation model by PLS (Partial Least Squares) method. The significant results of this study can contribute to expanding the research area of managerial information security and can be applied to suggesting the practical guidelines for effectively establishing and implementing the managerial security measures in various organizations.

조직의 정보보안을 위해서는 세 가지 유형의 정보보안(기술적, 물리적 및 관리적 보안) 모두가 중요하며 병행 추진되어야 할 것이지만, 본 연구는 관리적 보안대책의 수립 및 추진의 효과성을 보다 높이기 위한 이론적 근거를 확보하는데 연구목표를 설정하였다. 즉, 기술적 및 물리적 보안대책이 철저하게 정비되고 추진된다고 하더라도 이를 준수하고 실행하는 주체는 결국 조직구성원들이므로 기술적 및 물리적 보안대책이 소기의 성과를 이루기 위해서는 이에 부응한 관리적 보안대책이 균형 있게 추진되는 것이 필수적이기 때문에 관리적 보안을 보다 효과적으로 수행할 수 있기 위한 이론적 근거를 확보하는 것은 매우 중요한 의미를 지닌다고 본다. 특히, 본 연구에서는 효과적인 관리적 보안대책의 수립 추진의 핵심과제라고 할 수 있는 조직구성원들의 정보보안기술 사용의도를 향상시키기 위한 방안 마련 시에 적용될 수 있는 이론적 모형을 개발 제시하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 정보보안기술 사용의도에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 주요 관련 이론 및 선행연구들에 대한 체계적 고찰을 통해 도출하고 이들 간의 인과적 관계를 논리적으로 추론함으로써 연구모형 및 가설을 도출하였다. 실증분석을 위해서는 국내 대기업들의 직원들을 대상으로 현장서베이를 통한 자료수집을 하였고 부분최소자승법(PLS: Partial Least Squares)기법에 의한 구조방정식 모형분석을 실시하였다. 본 연구의 유의한 결과는 이론적인 측면에서 관리적 정보보안 분야 연구의 외연을 확대하는데 기여할 수 있다고 보며, 실무적인 측면에서는 제반 조직들이 관리적 정보보안 방안 및 대책 수립을 함에 있어서 업무지침의 일부로 적용될 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.
