Korean security industry has history of more than half a century, and it is growing fast. Private security industry contributes not only to livelihood safety, but also to national security. The area of the industry is being expanded. Security Act is closely related to the security industry, and has contributed to the growth of private security industry sector. Security Act of Korea, which was established in 1976, was originally made after Japanese Security Act. But nowadays, Korean Security Act is as systematic as the Japanese act. However, for 10 years, Security Act of Korea has been stagnant, not able to reflect security industries' demand. The writer has contributed to the development of Security Act. In 1995, the writer wrote the basic framework of Security Instructor Qualifications System and drafted Security Act in 2002. There are currently many problems in existing Security Act, but there are four representative problems. (1) No more establishment of new security sector, (2) excessively slack qualification criteria, (3) the education system for guards, (4) the security Instructor examination system. This paper derives problems of current Security Act, and suggests solutions for them. Not only the academic world, but all of us should pay attention to the revision of Security Act.

신용카드 및 직불카드 회사들의 연합체인 PCI SSC(PCI Security Standards Council)는 2004년 가정이나 소매상과 같은 소규모 환경에서 고객들의 금융 정보 유출을 방지하기 위한 목적으로 PCI DSS가 제정되었다. 국내에서는 2007년부터 PCI DSS 보안감사제도가 시행되었으며 유일하게 PCI DSS 보안감사자를 보유한 (주)에이쓰리시큐리티사가 가맹점1) 및 PG/VAN사(社)를 대상으로 PCI DSS 보안감사를 실시하였다. 본 연구에서는 2007년 한 해 동안 국내의 PCI DSS 보안감사를 수행하면서 요구사항에 만족하지 못하는 항목들에 대한 사례를 분석함으로써 국내 PCI DSS 보안감사 도입의 현 주소를 파악하고 이에 대한 개선안을 도출하여 보안감사에 보다 유연하게 대처할 수 있도록 하고자 한다. 2007년 한해 국내 보안감사 실시 결과 PCI DSS 보안감사 대상자의 요구사항 준수율은 평균 81%로 측정되었으며, 전체 233개의 요구사항 중 미적용으로 평가된 항목은 평균 38.7개로 나타났다. 전체적인 평균으로 따져봤을 경우 어느 정도 양호한 수준으로 판단할 수도 있으나 피감사 기업의 업태나 사전준비의 유무에 따라 많은 격차가 있었다. 특히, 기반이 튼튼한 PG사나 VAN사에 비해 신규로 등록되어 사업규모가 작거나 타사에 비해 카드결제산업이 차지하는 사업비중이 작은 곳은 PCI DSS 보안감사의 요구사항을 준수하는데 어려움을 겪고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 PCI DSS 보안감사를 통해 도출된 미적용 사항 중 가장 많은 미적용율을 나타낸 10가지 항목에 대하여 분석하고 이에 대한 대안을 제시함으로써 향후, PCI DSS의 요구사항을 기업환경에 맞게 적용하기 위해 효율적인 가이드로써 활용되었으면 하는 바램이다.

In e-terrorism, terrorists use cyber spaces including the internet in order to strike terror into the heart of a nation. It is revealed that recently happening terror cases use cyber spaces as a strategic tool. This research aims to investigate efficient countermeasures against various types of terror attacks made by terrorists and their cyber networking, in order to contribute to the prevention of terrors from a modern standpoint. Based on the results of the investigation, relevant problems are suggested such that terrors are not cases happening in a specific country only because they take place in cyber spaces, that hacking incidents frequently happen in Korea which is used as a footstool by foreign hackers, and that Korea has poor professional security manpower and foundational facilities in comparison with other advanced countries. Answers to the problems include cultivating cyber information manpower to cope with e-terrorism, making an appropriate budget, setting up networks to integrate and systematize anti-e-terrorism organizations, and intensifying the collection of information of cyber attacks and the analysis of the information.

Second, the teaching ability has a significant effect on all the factors contributing to job satisfaction, in relation to the effect of the educational satisfaction on job satisfaction. Third, in relation to the effect of the educational satisfaction on organizational commitment, the teaching ability has had a significant effect on all the factors involved in organizational involvement, and education courses and educational facilities have shown significant effects on continuance commitment among organizational commitment.

In 2005, the Republic of Korea suffered from the outbreak of MERS(Middle East respiratory syndrome), leaving 186 infectees and 38 casualties. Responding to this crisis, Korean government revealed many problems in emergency management policies and was widely criticized. A similar case in emergency management and infectious disease control is the 1999 outbreak of West Nile Virus(WNV) outbreak in the United States. During this period, the state of Oregon effectively responded to WNV through collaboration between state and local government, being considered as a model case of emergency management. This article aims to find insights in emergency management and infectious disease control by analyzing and comparing the responses of Korean MERS outbreak and Oregon's WNV outbreak focusing on interorganizational collaboration. Insights found in this study include the role of control tower, the importance of information sharing and disclosure, the role of existing systems and social networks, and sustainable intergovernmental collaboration.

Today each country in the world goes beyond the narrow concept of national security that was limited to national defense and ideology and are entering multi-dimensional global system mainly based on economic profits. Nevertheless, conflicts between nations due to religious and ideological reasons have brought unprecedentedly intense disputes Security services for head of states have been an important national mission in every era and society. However, they are becoming a main target for assassination and attacks by terrorists. Attacks on the head of state and other VIPs can cause aftermath ranging from war to conflict situation, political crisis, and economic loss. Therefore this study aims to draw insights by comparing protective security units of Korea, the U.S., and Japan which have different legal basis and sociocultural characteristics. Especially in South Korea, which faces difficult diplomatic stance due to the tension with North Korea and relationship with other countries such as the U.S., China, and Russia as well as polarization between classes, generations, regions, and ideologies, cohesion among members of society has weakened and hatred toward the head of state has been brought, which emphasizes the important of national security services.

Nowadays, national criminal policy focuses on "specialization", "advancement", and "choice and concentration" to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of public peace services. Consequently, the space that a nation manages diminishes and there appears vacant space of security. For that reason, in most developed countries including South Korea, there has been a significant expansion in the size and role of Private Security(PS). From this point of view, the Japanese government has adopted the PFI(Private Finance Initiative) system in private prisons. These cases clearly show the role and significance of "PS". By applying know-how of the private sector, these PFI prisons make efficient use of installation by the united efforts of government and people. Criteria such as solution for risk baring, regional coexistence, preservation of public security, response management and operating skills are considered important particularly in Kitsuregawa and Harima prisons. Thus, this study examines the implications and applicability for the expansion of PS in South Korea.
