Abstract

This study is an empirical study of the factors affecting cyber security breach. Based on the previous researches, factors affecting information security were classified into three aspects of system management, policy and institution, awareness and culture, and measurement items were constructed for each. As a result, outsourcing of information security, data backup, information security awareness by top management and employees were significant influencing variables. The analysis results show that the elements of cognitive aspect are very important. This should be remembered in security that eventually the acceptance of the members who use the security system safely and observe the relevant rules is very important.
