  • Safety and security measures in the shipping industry play a pivotal role in ensuring efficient and reliable cargo and passengers operations at each stage of the supply chain. The ISPS Code was adopted into SOLAS convention to protect seafarers and vessels from security threats. Furthermore, according to the Manila amendments to STCW Convention in 2010, personnel employed on board are required to participate in security training. Effective seafarers' education and training programs are of major importance to guarantee satisfactory performance levels onboard to minimize security-related risks. The study's contribution focuses on empirically evaluating the relationship between personal level of awareness and security performance when seafarers undertake security training courses. Findings of this study suggest that (1) seafarers who undertake maritime security training have a higher awareness of ship security, (2) security training and security awareness have a positive influence on security performance, and (3) security awareness mediates the impact of security training and security performance. In conclusion, education and training programs are key tools in enhancing seafarers' security awareness and security performance which, from an industry viewpoint, can translate into major economic, operational and reputational benefits.

  • With the advent of virtual currency and electronic wallets creating a way to make financial gains based on anonymity, malicious code dissemination using malicious mail has continued to increase. In order to minimize the damage, the human factors, security awareness and the ability to respond, which are technical factors, should be improved evenly, which can be improved through malicious mail training. This study presented a model considering the performance of malicious mail training, such as practice. It was classified as a training for enhancing awareness of security for employees and detection and response to improve their ability to respond to malicious mail. A training system suitable for the purpose, the core functions of malware training, implementation and camouflage skills, and bypass techniques were described. Based on the above model, the training data conducted over three years were collected and the effectiveness of the training was studied through analysis of the results according to the number of training sessions, training themes and camouflage techniques.

  • In order to strengthen the information security of the organization, it is important to invest in the information security facility, but the information security awareness of the organization members is also very important. Effective education is needed to raise awareness of this information security. However, the method of collective education utilized by most organizations is not very effective. Educational methods using serious games can be a good alternative. Educational methods using serious games have already proved effective through various cases and researches and are used in many fields. In this paper, we design and implement a game program to improve the awareness of individual information security policy importance. The training was conducted for the members of the organization and the change of awareness about the importance of individual information security policy was examined through analysis of evaluation data before and after the training.
