Abstract
Security threats in the 4th Industrial Revolution have expanded to the issue of safety, but the environment for information security of domestic companies is still at a low level. This study aims to propose policy implications by empirically analyzing factors affecting investment intention. We investigated the state of information security and protection behavior and expanded UTAUT to investigate correlations. The results showed that information assets affect facilitating conditions, and perceived and new concerns have impacts on social influence. Social influence affect experience and habits, but the impact on security investment intentions was rejected. Facilitation conditions, previous experiences and habits have great influences on investment intention, new service security investment intention. The influence of perceived and new concern are low or rejected. There are moderating effects between types of business, size, security organization, experience of infringement, security personnel ratio, and personal information collection. This study will help to establish policies for enhancing the level of information security.
