INFORMATION SECURITY AWARENESS IN CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The matrix analysis of the literature review in this study succeeded in producing factors that contribute to information security awareness. Information security awareness plays an important role in the continuity of an organization. Information security refers to the elements of confidentiality, integrity, and availability, of data or information, in an organization. The research began with definitions of information, information security, and information security awareness, as identified by previous publications. The four independent variables established in this study are policy of information security, education of information security, knowledge of IT, and employee’s behaviour towards information security in the workplace. A survey was selected as a research method for the study, and was conducted in order to gain respondent’s feedback on the level of information security awareness. The survey findings showed that the level of information security awareness was considered high, but the relation or contribution factors proposed by this study were only slight correlated.
