  • The purpose of this study is to present the effect of differences in individual coping and organizational homogeneity culture on information security compliance from an exploratory perspective. The study divided groups into individual coping (task-oriented, emotion-oriented) and organizational homogeneity culture (homogeneity, heterogeneity), confirms the difference in information security for each group through cross-design and presents a multiple mediation model between information security factors. As a result of the study, in the coping dimension, the average of the security compliance factors was higher in the emotion-oriented than the task-oriented, and in the homogeneity culture dimension, the average of the security compliance factors was higher in the homogeneity than the heterogeneity. Additionally, social influence and involvement had a multiple mediation effect on the relationship between information security awareness and compliance intention. The implications of this study were to confirm the difference in the effect of individual decision-making styles on security compliance according to the organizational culture differences. The results suggest the necessity of applying a customized information security compliance model for each organization and individual characteristics.

  • A web application that allows a web service created by a internal developer who has security awareness show certain level of security. However, in the case of development by outsourcing, it is inevitable to implement the development centered on requested function rather than the issue of security. Thus in this paper, we improve the software testing process focusing on security for exclusion the leakage of important information and using an unauthorized service that results from the use of the vulnerable web application. The proposed model is able to consider security in the initial stage of development even when outsourced web application, especially, It can prevent the development schedule delay caused by the occurrence of modification for program created by programer who has low security awareness. This result shows that this model can be applied to the national defense area for increasing demand web application centered resource management system to be able to prevent service of web application with security vulnerability based on high test.

  • Information is a valuable asset regardless of the size of the enterprise and information security is an essential element for the survival and prosperity of the enterprise. However, in the case of large corporations, Security is ensured through rapid introduction of information security management system. but In the case of SMEs, security systems are not built or construction is delayed due to complex factors such as budget constraints, insufficient security guidelines, lack of security awareness. In this paper, we analyze the actual situation of information security management of SMEs through questionnaires, and We would like to suggest a comprehensive security plan for SMEs in free or inexpensive ways. We believe that by applying the method presented in this paper, SMEs will be able to implement the lowest cost basic information security and will benefit SMEs who plan to establish an information security plan.

  • Although various information and communication technologies occupy a place in daily life in the face of the fourth industrial revolution, the contents related to information security in elementary and secondary education courses are mainly related to personal information protection, and the contents and countermeasures of rapidly changing security threats are low in textbooks, and they are far behind the changes. To improve this, this paper suggests that education contents related to information security are included in elementary school real and middle school information textbooks, educational contents related to wireless network and PC security are included to cope with rapidly changing security threats that may arise from the age of the Internet of Things, non-face-to-face classes, and case-based information ethics education can be organized to eradicate curiosity about hacking. Through this paper, we will help prevent information security accidents by establishing basic security measures on our own and strengthening security awareness in the information age.

  • Wearable devices need a host device to be paired with because of connectivity, functionality and ease personalization. There should be frequent update and backup processes between the paired devices even without user's consciousness. Due to pairing process, user-specific data are copied from smartphone and transferred to paired smartwatch. We focus on what happens in smartwatch because of pairing process. We perform an experiment study by observing and extracting data from smartwatch under real world usage phases. With a survey of user awareness on smartwatch regarding security and privacy, moreover, we suggest risk assessment on smartwatch in five levels, particularly considering pairing process based on security and privacy.

  • Network virtualization promises to play a dominant role in shaping the future Internet by overcoming the Internet ossification problem. However, due to the injecting of additional virtualization layers into the network architecture, several new security risks are introduced by the network virtualization. Although traditional protection mechanisms can help in virtualized environment, they are not guaranteed to be successful and may incur high security overheads. By performing the virtual network (VN) embedding in a security-aware way, the risks exposed to both the virtual and substrate networks can be minimized, and the additional techniques adopted to enhance the security of the networks can be reduced. Unfortunately, existing embedding algorithms largely ignore the widespread security risks, making their applicability in a realistic environment rather doubtful. In this paper, we attempt to address the security risks by integrating the security factors into the VN embedding. We first abstract the security requirements and the protection mechanisms as numerical concept of security demands and security levels, and the corresponding security constraints are introduced into the VN embedding. Based on the abstraction, we develop three security-risky modes to model various levels of risky conditions in the virtualized environment, aiming at enabling a more flexible VN embedding. Then, we present a mixed integer linear programming formulation for the VN embedding problem in different security-risky modes. Moreover, we design three heuristic embedding algorithms to solve this problem, which are all based on the same proposed node-ranking approach to quantify the embedding potential of each substrate node and adopt the k-shortest path algorithm to map virtual links. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of our algorithms.

  • In the past, organizations tended to focus on physical and technical aspects of managing corporate's information security (IS), rather than the aspect of human resources related to IS. Recently, increasing security incidents caused by organization members raise the issue of how to improve employees' compliance with security policies. This study conducted a field experiment to examine the effect of security awareness training and technical security services on employee's security behaviors. In Study 1, the number of spam opening cases were measured right after the IS training and re-measured three months later. In Study 2, a spam warning message was provided and then the number of employees' spam opening cases were counted to find out the effect of security services. It was found that both the IS training and the technical IS service were effective; they significantly decreased spam opening rates. However, the training effect did not last longer than three months. These findings suggest that organizations need to consider providing regular training programs and supplementary technical services to improve employees' compliance with security policies.
