  • Nowadays, openness and accessibility of information systems increase security threats from inside and outside of organization. Appropriate password is supposed to bring out security effects such as preventing misuses and banning illegal users. This study emphasizes on choosing passwords from perspective of information security and investigated user's security awareness affecting behavioral intention. The research model proposed in this study includes user's security belief which is influenced by risk awareness factors such as information assets, threats and vulnerability elements. The risk awareness factors ale derived from risk analysis methodologies for information security. User's risk awareness is a factor influencing the security belief, attitude toward security behavior, and security behavioral intention. According to the result of this study, while vulnerability is not related to the risk awareness, information assets and threats are related to the user's risk awareness. There is a significant relationship between risk awareness and security belief. Also, user's security behavioral intention is significantly affected by security attitude.

  • Social networking service (SNS) is a service that allows people to share information, manage relationships with others, and express themselves on the Internet. The number of SNS users have increased explosively with the growth of mobile devices such as smartphones. As the influence of SNS has grown extensively, potential threats to privacy have also become pervasive. The purpose of this study is to empirically examine the main factors that affect users' intentions to use security functions provided by their SNS. The main theories for this study include the rational choice theory and the theory of planned behavior. This study has identified the factors that affect intention to use security functions. In addition, security function awareness and information security awareness are found to be important antecedents for intention to use security functions. The results of this study implies that when SNS providers develop security policies, they should consider the ways to improve users information security awareness and security function awareness simultaneously.

  • The purpose of this study is to investigate the behavioral factors affecting the security attitude and intention to use biometrics password based on the protection motivation theory. This study also investigates security awareness training to understand trust, privacy, and security vulnerability regarding biometric authentication password. This empirical analysis reveals security awareness training boosts the protection motivational factors that affect on the behavior and intention of using biometric authentication passwords. This study also indicates that biometric authentication passwords can be used when the overall belief in a biometric system is present. After all, security awareness training enhances the belief of biometric passwords and increase the motivation to protect security threats. The study will provide insights into protecting security vulnerability with security awareness training.

  • This paper presents the findings of a study in which students at a four-year university were surveyed in an effort to analyze and verify the differences in perceived security awareness, security-related activities, and security damage experiences when using smartphones, based on demographic variables such as gender, academic year, and college major. Moreover, the perceived security awareness items and security-related activities were tested to verify whether they affect the students' security damage experience. Based on survey data obtained from 592 participants, the findings indicate that demographic differences exist for some of the survey question items. The majority of the male students replied "affirmative" to some of the questions related to perceived security awareness and "enthusiastic" to questions about security-related activities. Some academic year differences exist in the responses to perceived security awareness and security-related activities. On the whole, freshmen had the lowest level of security awareness. Security alert seems to be very high in sophomores, but it decreases as the students become older. While the difference in perceived security awareness based on college major was not significant, the difference in some security-related activities based on that variable was significant. No significant difference was found in some items such as storing private information in smartphones and frequency of implementation of security applications based on the college major variable. However, differences among the college majors were verified in clicking hyperlinks in unknown SMS messages and in the number of security applications in smartphones. No differences were found in security damage experiences based on gender, academic year, and college major. Security awareness items had no impact on the experience of security damage in smartphones. However, some security activities, such as storing resident registration numbers in a smartphone, clicking hyperlinks in unknown SMS messages, the number of security apps in a smartphone, and the frequency of implementation of security apps did have an impact on security damage.

  • 정보시스템의 확대 및 인터넷 사용의 급격한 증가에 따라 정보보안의 중요성이 대두되고 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고, 우리는 정보보안의 중요성을 심각하지 않게 받아들이고 있다. 본 연구는 조직에서의 보안정책이 정보시스템 사용자의 보안의 식과 개인적 특성에 변화가 있는지 살펴보고, 보안의식과 개인적 특성이 패스워드 사용에 있어서의 보안효과를 가져다주는지 실증분석 하는 것이 궁극적인 목적이다. 구조방정식 모형 기법을 적용한 본 연구모형의 분석결과에 의하면, 보안정책은 개인적 특성과 사용자의 보안의식 향상에 통계적으로 유의한 영향을 미친다. 또한 개인적 특성과 보안의식은 보안효과에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 기업 내의 정보보안은 보안정책을 잘 준수하고 이에 따른 개인적 특성과 보안의식 수준이 향상되었을 때 보다 안전한 패스워드의 보안효과를 거둘 수 있다.

  • In this era of globalization without limitation, many security issues occur, especially in a public network. Internet users significantly increased every single day. However, only some users are aware of security issues when they use Internet services. For the campus network environment, both staffs and students are susceptible to security threats such as data theft, unauthorized access and more due to different levels of awareness towards security threats. This paper is to study the level of awareness among students on security issues based on KSA model. As a case study, the survey was distributed among students in the UTeM campus network. A quantitative study was conducted, and a structured questionnaire has been designed and distributed among students. The variables were focused on three (3) aspects, which are Knowledge, Skill and Ability (KSA). The finding shows the relationship between KSA with the level of awareness among students has been revealed. From the result, Knowledge is the most significant aspect that contributes to high awareness. For the future, a study about increasing students' knowledge about security issues should be addressed.

  • 조직의 정보보안을 강화하기 위해서는 정보보안설비에 대한 투자도 중요하지만 조직구성원들의 정보보안인식 역시 매우 중요하다. 이러한 정보보안인식을 높이기 위해서는 효과적인 교육이 필요하다. 하지만 대부분의 조직에서 활용하는 집체교육방식은 그다지 효과적이지 못하다. 기능성 게임을 이용한 교육 방식은 이에 대해 좋은 대안이 될 수 있다. 기능성 게임을 이용한 교육 방식은 이미 다양한 사례 및 연구를 통해 효과성이 입증되었고 많은 분야에서 활용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 개별 정보보안정책 중요도에 대한 조직원들의 인식을 향상시키기 위하여 게임 프로그램을 설계 및 구현하였다. 조직원들을 대상으로 교육을 수행하였으며 교육 전 후 평가 데이터 분석을 통해 개별 정보보안정책 중요도에 대한 인식 변화 여부를 조사하였다.
