This study aims to examine organization members' intention to violate security policies based on the Person-Environment Fit Model. This study investigated the effect of the relationship between organizational security environment and the individual security value on the intention of organizational security policy violation. The security environments are classified into the organizational information security culture and peers' behavior of security compliance, while the personal values are classified into reconstructing the conduct, distorting the consequence, and devaluing the organization as presented in the moral disengagement theory. Based on the concept of the moral disengagement theory, we measured the individual security values as a second order factor. This study found that the information security culture had a statistically significant impact on devaluing the organization, but did not have as much impact on reconstructing the conduct and distorting the consequence. Peers' behavior of security compliance had a significant impact on reconstructing the conduct, distorting the consequence and devaluing the organization, all of which also had relevant impact on the organizational members' intention of security policy violation.This study measured a persons' perception on security policy breach by presenting scenarios of password sharing that is common in many organizations. This study is expected to make practical contributions, as it deals with challenges that many organizations are actually faced with.

Information security incidents caused by authorized insiders are increasing in financial firms, and this increase is particularly increased by outsourced contractors. With the increase in outsourcing in financial firms, outsourced contractors having authorized right has become a threat and could violate an organization's information security policy. This study aims to analyze the differences between own employees and outsourced contractors and to determine the factors affecting the violation of information security policy to mitigate information security incidents. This study examines the factors driving employees to violate information security policy in financial firms based on the theory of planned behavior, general deterrence theory, and information security awareness, and the moderating effects of employee type between own employees and outsourced contractors. We used 363 samples that were collected through both online and offline surveys and conducted partial least square-structural equation modeling and multiple group analysis to determine the differences between own employees (246 samples, 68%) and outsourced contractors (117 samples, 32%). We found that the perceived sanction and information security awareness support the information security policy violation attitude and subjective norm, and the perceived sanction does not support the information security policy behavior control. The moderating effects of employee type in the research model were also supported. According to the t-test result between own employees and outsourced contractors, outsourced contractors' behavior control supported information security violation intention but not subject norms. The academic implications of this study is expected to be the basis for future research on outsourced contractors' violation of information security policy and a guide to develop information security awareness programs for outsourced contractors to control these incidents. Financial firms need to develop an information security awareness program for outsourced contractors to increase the knowledge and understanding of information security policy. Moreover, this program is effective for outsourced contractors.

The purpose of this paper is to find an answer why employees in organization violate the organizational information security policy. To do this, this study is rooted in the moral disengagment theory. This study found that moral belief and perceived sanction have an effect on security policy violation. However, if moral disengagement is involved in the research model, perceived sanction is not significant. Finally, SETA, moral belief, and perceived sanction have a negative effect on moral disengagement, which in turn moral disengagement influences positively the security policy violation. The conclusions and implications are discussed.

Criminal profiling is a effective and efficient measure for enhancing industrial security of casino business. Particularly, developing criminal profiling of deviant behaviors in casino will help security management to become more effective and efficient in practical ways. Unfortunately, however, there is lack of empirical profiling study in this regard. To fill the vacuum of literature on this topic, this study was purported to create offender profiles of different types of deviant behaviors in casino based on various theories and techniques in criminal profiling literature, such as investigative psychology, linkage analysis, and behavioral evidence analysis. To fulfill the purposes, this study collected behavioral evidence from 90 casino security officers in South Korea. Offenders' behavioral evidence was analyzed to develop offender profiles of seven different types of deviant behaviors, and then the profiles were compared with each profiles that security officers focus on to identify offenders during their work hours. Results showed that, first, there were unique profiles of each type of seven different categories of deviant behaviors in terms of offenders' ways of speaking and acting, their appearance and attitudes. In addition, this study found that there were some amount of gaps between actual offenders' profiles and profiles that security officers have in mind. Based on the results, this study provided policy implications in terms of managing casino industrial security, education and training for security officers, and future study on casino security.

최근 정보유출 피해사례가 빈번히 발생하고 있으며, 발생 건수 중 대부분이 내부자에 의한 고의 또는 실수로 발생하는 경우가 대부분이다. 이를 방지하기 위해 기관 및 기업에서는 다양한 보안 솔루션을 도입하여 구축해서 운영하고 있다. 그러나 독립적으로 보안솔루션이 운영 및 관리되기 때문에 상관분석의 어려움으로 통합적인 내부정보유출 모니터링이 불가능하다. 또한 제한된 리소스로 과도하게 발생하는 보안 이벤트를 모니터링하여 내부정보유출을 탐지하고 관리하기에는 어려움이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 사용자 본인이 보안 정책에 위반되는 행위를 했을 시 "어떠한 목적으로 보안위반 행위를 하였는지" 파악하기 위해 소명절차를 이용한 내부정보유출 방지 관리 방안에 대해 연구하고자 한다.

Current paradigm of industrial security is changing into the effective operation and management from simple establishment of security equipments. If the physical security system(entry control system, video security system, etc.) and the IT integrated security control system are conversed, it makes us possible to prevent, disrupt and track afterwards the insider's information leakage through the risk and security management of enterprise. That is, Without the additional expansion of the existing physical security and IT security manpower, the establishment of systematic conversion security management process in a short time is possible and can be expected the effective operation of professional organization system at all times. Now it is needed to build up integrated security management system as an individual technique including the security event collection and integrated management, the post connected tracking management in the case of security accident, the pattern definition and real time observation of information leakage and security violation, the rapid judgement and response/measure to the attempt of information leakage and security violation, the establishment of security policy by stages and systematically and conversion security.

Security operating system applied to MAC(Mandatory Access Control) or to MLS(Multi Level Security) gives both subject and object both Security Level and value of Category, and it restrict access to object from subject. But it violates Security policy of system and could be a circulated course of illegal information. This is correctly IPC(Interprocess Communication)mechanism and Covert Channel. In this thesis, I tried to design and implementation as OS kernel in order not only to give confidence of information circulation in the Security system, but also to defend from Covert Channel by Storage and IPC mechanism used as a circulated course of illegal information. For removing a illegal information flow by IPC mechanism. I applied IPC mechanism to MLS Security policy, and I made Storage Covert Channel analyze system call Spec. and than distinguish Storage Covert Channel. By appling auditing and delaying, I dealt with making low bandwidth.

Every big online security breach seems to end in a big lecture. Thus, although a predominant weakness in properly securing information assets is the individual user within an organization, much of the focus of extant security research is on technical issues. The purpose of this study is to explain why insiders breach security policy by applying the moral disengagement theory. There are no consistent, widely accepted theories or theoretical frameworks in the literatures as to why insiders breach of information security, and therefore no clear, effective guidance on what to do to prevent employees from violating information security policy in organization. To do this, we theorize that moral disengagement may play a mediating role connecting stable individual differences to intention to breach security policy, because of some of the individual differences. We found that policy awareness and perceived punishment have a negatively significant effect on moral disengagement. However, negative affectivity has a positively significant influence on moral disengagement. Furthermore, moral disengagement has a positive effect on intention to breach security policy. Conclusions and implications are discussed.

다단계 보안 데이타베이스 관리체계(Multi-Level Secure Database Management System: MLS/DBMS)에서 모든 거래와 데이타는 각각 유일한 보안성을 가지고 있다 MLS/DBMS 상에서 동시수행중인 거래들은 공유 데이타를 접근하는 과정에서 충돌가능성을 항시 지니고 있다. 이러한 충돌을 해결하는 과정에서 만약 낮은 보안등급을 가지는 거래가 지연되는 현상이 발생하였을 경우, 높은 보안등급의 정보가 낮은 보안등급의 거래로 유출되어 결과적으로 보안정책을 위반하게된다 이러한 종류의 통신경로를 비밀경로라고 한다. 비밀경보 문제를 해결하기 위한 몇몇 종류의 거래관리 기법들이 제시되었다. 이들 기법들은 비록 비밀경로 문제를 해결하였지만, 불행하게도 이들은 보안의 또 다른 측면인 무결성에 대한 고려를 간과하고 있다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 고수준 보안 거래 관리기는 동시에 수행중인 거래들을 스케줄링하는 과정에서 정보의 기밀성 유지를 무결성의 손실없이 이루고 있다. 기밀성을 위하여 고수준 보안 거래관리기는 비완료된 데이타의 은닉에 방법적 기반을 두고 있다. 또한, 무결성을 얻기 위하여 데이타의 적절성을 판단하는 과정에서 데이타의 신뢰성을 최신성과 함께 고려하고 있다.

Although organizations are given various benefits with information technologies, they sometimes have suffered fatal damages due to information security incidents now such as computer virus, hacking, counterfeiting, plagiarizing, etc. The fundamentalcauses of information security incidents are closely related to individuals who do not comply with information security policy or rules. The spontaneous self-control of individuals and monitoring for individuals could be the most essential solution for the ongoing observance of information security policy. Thus, the purpose of this study is to analyze effects of punishment and ethics training on compliance of information security policy of individuals in organizations, to determine individual divide among security propensity depending on organization types, and to find the more fundamental solution which leads change of organizational members’ behaviors and self-control. Regardless of the type of organizations, the results of the study suggest that there exist positive effects of punishment and ethics training in all types of organization on compliance of information security rules or regulations. A member of unitary form organization has higher cognition of punishment than a member's cognition of the multi-divisional form organization, while relatively lower awareness of ethics training. Also, a member of public organization has higher awareness of ethics training than a member’s awareness of private organization, while lower cognition of punishment. Finally, the result shows that punishment and ethics training may be major factors which affect information security. It also suggests that organizational security managers have to understand and consider organization member’s propensity relying on organization form and organization characteristics for establishment and enforcement of information security policy.
