Abstract

The operating system update is a basic step to maintain a safe internet use environment. This study analyzed whether the implementation of the operating system update was related to gender and age group during the violation accident prevention act in relation to information protection on the internet, and tried to verify the validity of these factors by analyzing the influence of gender and age group. In this study, logistic regression analysis was conducted based on the information security survey data surveyed by the Korea Internet & Security Agency in 2016. As a result, gender and age were surveyed as factors related to the implementation of operating system updates. As a result of analyzing the impact on the implementation of operating system updates by gender, it is estimated that the odds are 0.419 times higher for women than for men. According to the analysis of the operating system update by age group based on the 50s, which is a vulnerable group of information, the result is that the odds are 13.266 times higher in the 20s than the 50s.

정보보안의 중요성이 대두되고 있는 현재 운영체제 업데이트는 안전한 인터넷 사용 환경을 유지하기 위한 기본 사항이다. 그러나 성별과 연령 등 이용자의 개인적인 속성이나 사회경제적 환경에 따라 정보보안 실천과 관련하여 집단별 격차가 여전히 존재하고 있다. 본 연구는 인터넷 상의 정보보호와 관련하여 침해사고 예방 행위 중 운영체제 업데이트 실시여부가 성별과 연령대 별로 연관성이 있는지를 분석하고, 성별과 연령대가 미치는 영향력을 실증적으로 분석하여 이들 요인에 대한 타당성을 검증하고자 하였다. 이에 본 연구에서는 한국인터넷진흥원이 2016년 조사한 정보보호 실태조사 자료를 기반으로 로지스틱 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과 성별과 연령대 별 집단의 차이는 운영체제 업데이트의 실시여부에 관련 있는 요인으로 조사되었다. 성별과 연령대 별 요인들이 운영체제 업데이트의 실시여부에 미치는 영향력을 분석한 결과, 성별에 있어서는 운영체제 업데이트 실시여부의 오즈가 남자보다 여자가 0.419배 높다고 추정되었다. 연령대 별 운영체제 업데이트의 실시여부에서는 정보화 취약계층인 50대를 기초로 분석한 결과 50대에 비해 20대는 오즈가 13.266배 높다는 결과가 나왔다.
