This paper formally defines a role-driven security and access control model of a business process in order eventually to provide a theoretical basis for realizing the secured business process management systems. That is, we propose a graphical representation and formal description of the mechanism that generates a set of role-driven security and access control models from a business process modeled by the information control net(ICN) modeling methodology that is a typical business process modeling approach for defining and specifying business processes. Based upon the mechanism, we are able to design and accomplish a secured business process management system that provides an unified resource access control mechanism of the business process management engine domain's and the application domain's. Finally, we strongly believe that the secured access control policies from the role-driven security and access control model can be easily transformed into the RBAC(Role-based Access Control) model that is a standardized security technology for computer and communications systems of commercial and civilian government organizations.

To establish an effective security strategy, business enterprises need a security benchmarking tool. The strategy helps to lessen an impact and a damage in any threat. This study analyses many aspects of information security management and suggests a way to deal with security investments by considering important factors that affect security manager's decision. To address the different threats resulting from a major cause of accidents inside an enterprise, we investigate an approach that followed ISO17799. We unfold a criminology theory that has designated many measures against the threat as suggested by General Deterrence Theory. The study proposes a coherent model of the theory to improve the security measures especially in handling and protecting company assets and human lives as well.

Due to the increasing complexity of the information systems environment, modern information systems are facing more difficult and various security risks than ever, there by calling for a higher level of security safeguard. In this paper, an information technology security risk management model, which modified by adopting the concept of business processes, is applied to client/server distributed systems. The results demonstrate a high level of risk-detecting performance of the model, by detecting various kinds of security risks. In addition, a practical and efficient security control safeguard to cope with the identified security risks are suggested. Namely, using the proposed model, the risks on the assets in both of the I/O stage(on client side) and the request/processing stage(on server side), which can cause serious problems on business processes, are identified and the levels of the risks are analyzed. The analysis results show that maintenance of management and access control to application systems are critical in the I/O stage, while managerial security activities including training are critical in the request/processing stage.

We introduce a novel high-level security metrics objective taxonomization model for software- intensive systems. The model systematizes and organizes security metrics development activities. It focuses on the security level and security performance of technical systems while taking into account the alignment of metrics objectives with different business and other management goals. The model emphasizes the roles of security-enforcing mechanisms, the overall security quality of the system under investigation, and secure system lifecycle, project and business management. Security correctness, effectiveness and efficiency are seen as the fundamental measurement objectives, determining the directions for more detailed security metrics development. Integration of the proposed model with riskdriven security metrics development approaches is also discussed.

Depending on the sophistication of IT, it is increasing more and more information leaks and breaches. Accordingly the majority of companies have expand investment protection for the information. However, companies still have been exposed the vulnerability of information leakage. Especially, small IT service businesses than large corporations relatively have some limitations in the points of resources and manpower business activities. For studies on information security for small IT service companies so far, however, there have been insufficient studies considering small business scales and business characteristics of IT services. In this study, we made to design an information security management model for establishing security measures of small IT service companies which are classified SI/SM, DB, IR and IP industry that depending on how the value creation of the business. In detail, we performed an empirical analysis for small IT service business to consider business characteristics and we proposed security implementation strategies based on the analysis results.

In order to protect the business information of the enterprise, the company is engaged in various information security activities, such as establishing an information security management system, establishing and operating an information security system, checking vulnerabilities and security controls. It is an enterprise information security governance that organizes various information security activities for enterprise business, and it needs to be systematized to operate them effectively. In this study, to systematize the enterprise information security governance, we would like to explore the existing Enterprise Information Portal(EIP) model and propose an Enterprise Information Security Portal(EISP) model based on it. The Enterprise Information Security Portal(EISP) model provides an integrated environment for supporting the activities of the information security departments by systemizing the enterprise information security governance, which is a variety of information security activities of the enterprises, so that the information security activities of the enterprises can participate directly from CEO to executives and employees, not just from the information security departments.

This study proposes an alternative to minimize insider-caused security threats that are relatively difficult to control and cause high uncertainty in information security management. Therefore, we investigate the relationship between organizational effort and the security understanding of employees to eventually enhance security compliance intention among employees. We develop a research model and formulate hypotheses on the basis of past findings. Accomplished questionnaires are collected from 526 employees working in organizations where information security policy is being implemented. In addition, we prove the hypotheses using a structural model. After reviewing the structural model, the security knowledge of employees and information security culture are determined to positively influence the security compliance intention of employees. Moreover, top management support, security policy, security visibility, and security education programs are proven to be antecedent factors in establishing a security culture in organizations. The findings of this study could guide organizations in formulating information security strategies to enhance the security compliance intention of employees.

Information always comes with security and risk problems. There is the saying that, "The tall tree catches much wind," and the risks from cloud services will absolutely be more varied and more severe. Nowadays, handling these risks is no longer just a technology problem. So far, a good deal of literature that focuses on risk or security management and frameworks in information systems has already been submitted. This paper analyzes the causal risk factors in cloud environments through critical success factors, from a business perspective. We then integrated these critical success factors into a business model for information security by mapping out 10 principles related to cloud risks. Thus, we were able to figure out which aspects should be given more consideration in the actual transactions of cloud services, and were able to make a business-level and general-risk control model for cloud computing.

Recently, IT Governance has been applied to business management environment. In this paper, we study business model that can minimize information security risk using IT governance in cloud computing environment. Especially, we propose the interaction model that link risk management for subject of information security governance. In our model, synergy means the effective, strategic and secure business support. And interaction analysis of BMIS's 4 elements and 6 dynamic interconnections is required. Therefore we propose interaction model which can link risk management based on COSO ERM or COBIT Risk IT Framework.
