  • As the area covered by the CPS grows wider, agencies such as public institutions and critical infrastructure are collectively measuring and evaluating information security capabilities. Currently, these methods of measuring information security are a concrete method of recommendation in related standards. However, the security controls used in these methods are lacking in connectivity, causing silo effect. In order to solve this problem, there has been an attempt to study the information security management system in terms of maturity. However, to the best of our knowledge, no research has considered the specific definitions of each level that measures organizational security maturity or specific methods and criteria for constructing such levels. This study developed an information security maturity model that can measure and manage the information security capability of critical infrastructure based on information provided by an expert critical infrastructure information protection group. The proposed model is simulated using the thermal power sector in critical infrastructure of the Republic of Korea to confirm the possibility of its application to the field and derive core security processes and goals that constitute infrastructure security maturity. The findings will be useful for future research or practical application of infrastructure ISMSs.

  • Once information security solution is implemented, it requires many services other than just general user management, such as malicious code analysis and security updated for consistent security against external threats or attacks, analysis of threat and attack, effectivity management of obtained security assurance, and advisory activities of security technical professionals. However, even if information security solutions provide those extra services, they are not properly treated in real market. Thus, for the security sustainable services, this study analyzes the service status of domestic information security, and suggest policy measure of price which could reflected the characteristics of information security solutions.

  • Despite the limitations of existing security policies due to technological development, companies are unable to actively respond to changes by maintaining a closed security policy. This study classified information security policy into three types: regulatory type policy, advisory type policy, and informative type policy. For each classified policy type, the effect on the information security policy compliance behavior of organizational members was investigated by applying the extended theory of planned behavior, and the moderating effect of information security stress was investigated. SmartPLS 2.0 and SPSS 21.0, which are structural equation modeling techniques, were used to analyze the relationship affecting each factor. As a result of the study, regulatory type, advisory type, and informative type security policies affected organizational members' information security policy compliance behavior, and security stress had an effect on information security compliance attitudes and subjective norms on information security, which are prerequisites for planned behavior theory. gave. This study suggests that various types of corporate information security policies can be applied and that security stress can affect information security behaviors of members.

  • This study aims to verify the structural correlation empirically between information security performance and information management performance. To verify the correlation, three factors such as managerial controlled activity, technical controlled activity, and physical controlled activity are divided for the information security activities variable. the security performance are divided into accident prevention and accident response variables. As a result, security organization activity is a unique factor being positively significant to information security and management performance. And three activities such as human security, security training, development security do not affect at all on both information security and management performance.

  • Recently, the awareness of the domestic information security is very higher due to cyber war and hacking incidents. Yet, the information security professional is very scarce situation. In these circumstances are increasing of a opening the information security related departments of the domestic universities. And the Educational institutions are developed various curriculums. However, the domestic information security curriculum is different depending on the university or department. And there tends to be concentrated on the practical education rather than theoretical education. Therefore, in this paper will be analyzed to the Information security curriculum situation of the domestic Information Security related universities. This is expected to be utilized in a systematic curriculum development of the domestic information security education in a future.

  • This study analyzed the multi-mediating effects of information security, personal information infringement, personal experience, and information security intention in the relationship between personal information protection and information security attitude. For this purpose, a survey was conducted on 221 students from G University. First, information security, personal information infringement, and information security awareness had a simple mediating effect. Second, information security, personal information infringement, personal experience, and information security consciousness had parallel multi- mediation effects. Third, personal information infringement and information security awareness had a simple mediating effect in the parallel multiple mediation state. Fourth, information security had a simple mediating effect, but it was found that there was no simple mediating effect in the parallel multiple mediation state. This study is meaningful in that it empirically compared the simple and multi-mediation effects.

  • In this paper, we propose an analysis framework to capture the trends of information security incidents and evaluate the security policy based on the incident analysis. We build a big data from news media collecting security incidents news and policy news, identify key trends in information security from this, and present an analytical method for evaluating policies from the point of view of incidents. In more specific, we propose a network-based analysis model that allows us to easily identify the trends of information security incidents and policy at a glance, and a cosine similarity measure to find important events from incidents and policy announcements.

  • The purpose of the present study is to empirically examine factors that affect the information security awareness and perceived information security risk of employees of port companies. In particular, in order to identify factors that affect the perceived information security risks, we investigated the relation of assets, threats, and vulnerabilities to it, using the risk analysis methodology. With A total of 252 valid questionnaires, we also performed the structural equation modeling analysis using AMOS. It was found that first, there was no meaningful relationship between the information assets and the perceived information security risk in the case of employees of port companies. Second, threats and vulnerabilities turned out to have positive influences on the perceived information security risk. Finally, there was a positive relationship not only between the information security awareness and the information security education, but also between the information security awareness and the intention of information security. However, there was no meaningful relationship between the information security concern and the information security awareness.

  • Recently organizations identify information security as one of essential means for gaining competitive advantage. However, they do not actively increase investment in this area because they consider spending for information security as a cost rather than an investment. This is because organizations don't have a clear understanding of information security objectives which can be achieved through investment, and they don't have criteria for alternatives which can be considered in information security investment decision-making. In this paper we propose to model the decision-making process of information security investment by the AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process). The results will show that availability is the most important criterion for the decision of information security alternatives, and intrusion detection is the most important information security alternative. We hope that the results of this paper provide a guideline for clear decision-making in information security investment.
