Security Behavior

It's the first time that many users are operating their work from home. There is not only the tension of the uncertainty around the COVID-19 pandemic but also a time for adjusting people to their remote working habits considering ever-increasing cyber-attacks. When employees work in an office, there is an IT team working with them closely for their information security problems. However, it is difficult to provide sufficient information security protection that can compensate for human errors in remote working. Information security familiarity, information security awareness, and information security behavior are critical concepts to consider again during the pandemic as the new normal. In this chapter, a literature review will be conducted for information security awareness and information security familiarity concepts. Analysis of the context of these concepts is the aim of this chapter. This study can give insight to understand, evaluate, and determine the information security behavior of employees during new remote working conditions.

Security Behaviors

Information security is often viewed as a technological matter. However, security professionals will readily admit that without safe practices by users, no amount or type of technology will be effective at preventing unauthorized intrusions. By paralleling the practices of information security and health prevention, a rationale for employing constructs from existing models of health behavior is established. A comprehensive and parsimonious model (the Security Belief Model) is developed to explain information security behavior intentions. The model is tested empirically based on a sample of 237 Indian professionals. The results of the empirical study indicate general support for the model, particularly including severity, susceptibility, benefits, and a cue to action as antecedents to the intention to perform preventive information security behaviors. The paper also discusses implications of the model and results for practitioners and possibilities for future research are included.
