With the rapid development of information technology, information security has been gaining attention. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has issued international standards and technical reports related to information security, which are gradually being adopted by enterprises. This study analyzes the relationship between information security certification (ISO 27001) and corporate financial performance using data from Chinese publicly listed companies. The study focusses on the impact of corporate decisions such as whether to obtain certification, how long to hold certification, and whether to publicize information regarding certification. The results show that there is a positive correlation between ISO 27001 and financial performance. Moreover, the positive impact of ISO 27001 on financial performance gradually increases with time. In addition, choosing not to publicize ISO 27001 certification can negatively affect enterprise performance.

The mechanism of communication process and information security at an enterprise is considered. The theoretical aspects of the communications at the enterprise are based on the variety of its form and the relation of organizational and information structures: most activities have underlying links via information processes. Thus information security of communication process has a significant impact on the information security of the enterprise as a whole. In modern conditions and circumstances, the information security of the enterprise is largely reduced to cybersecurity and suffers from most threats of the latter. However, the human factor is responsible for most of the real facts of inflicting harm due to information security breaches. Thus, traditional mechanisms of privacy and confidentiality ensuring need to be adapted to new realities. New opportunities also set new requirements for understanding the very concept of information security: information must not only be protected but also timely and accurate as far as it is possible to be provided with modern telecommunication systems and information technologies: information security is a system of information protection of the enterprise – protection against theft, delayed and inaccurate providing of essential information to the recipient inside the enterprise or outside it. There are proposed and justified four principles necessary but not sufficient to ensure efficient mechanism of information security regarding communication process at small to medium enterprises. These include information awareness of staff even if they are not advanced with information technologies, traditional methods of protection against cyber threats such as passwords and encryption, control over information flows and the infrastructure that provides them, reliable cooperation and protection of remote access. These principles should be followed by managers at all levels.

Concept Of Information

The article deals with the problems of information security and its provision in relation to society and its educational environment, processes and relations, subjects and objects. The necessity of forming the corresponding subject-information competence of subjects, personal culture of information security is shown.It is noted that the information security of educational subjects is a specific part of the general security of education as its qualitative development in the developing information society in accordance with its properties and requirements. The concept of information security in the field of education is formulated in the context of a general concept and in the aspect of its specificity in education, its educational and educational processes, as well as in the aspect of personal, psychological, age and other properties of subjects of education. This presupposes the presence of a corresponding purposefulness of general education, which also acquires the quality of informational education, and its expression in the content of education and subject-oriented educational training. In particular, this applies to the general education subject “Informatics” as the main resource of information education, in the process of forming the relevant knowledge, competencies and personal qualities.The necessity of mandatory inclusion of the relevant topics in the content of information education in the context of information security and information protection has been substantiated: the state and problems of information security, personal security; goals and objectives of information security; legal and other aspects of information protection, means of protecting electronic data in the field of education.

The Relationship

Despite great interest of researchers and professionals in Information Security (InfoSec) and Information Assurance (IA), there is still no commonly agreed understanding of the disciplines. This chapter clarifies the meaning, scope, and goals of InfoSec and IA as well as the relationship between the disciplines. Clarity of the scope and goals of InfoSec and IA is important because this knowledge serves as a foundation for the definition of (1) curricula for the InfoSec and IA education programs, (2) responsibilities of practitioners, and (3) organisations' InfoSec strategy and policies. The study analyses US and European InfoSec- and IA-related official publications and standards and discusses the perception of the disciplines in academic and industry works. The study highlights the importance of clear and precise definitions of InfoSec and IA and a need for the definitions to promote open-mindedness among practitioners and researchers. Since the existing definitions of InfoSec and IA do not fully reflect the complexity and the evolving nature of the disciplines, the contemporary adapted definitions of InfoSec and IA are elaborated in the chapter.

Information Security Culture

The concept of an “information security culture” is relatively new. A review of published research on the topic suggests that it is not the information security panacea that has been suggested. Instead, it tends to refer to a range of existing techniques for addressing the human aspect of information security, oversimplifying the link between culture and behaviour, exaggerating the ease with which a culture can be adjusted, and treating culture as a monolith, set from the top. Evidence for some of the claims is also lacking. This chapter finds that the term “information security culture” is ambiguous and vague enough to suggest the possibility of achieving an almost mystical state, whereby behaviour consistent with information security is second nature to all employees, but when probed does not deliver. Instead, future research should be clear about what it considers information security culture to be, should provide evidence for claims, and should take complexity and context seriously.

The Relationship

Active sharing of information security advice among the employees has undeniable implications for developing a sustainable security environment. This research examines this topic from the network perspective, and focuses on the work relationships that promote sharing security advice. Exponential random graph modeling technique was employed to evaluate the relationship between team collaborative activities and sharing security advice. The findings revealed that those who share security advice also tend to give work- and IT-related knowledge. Moreover, employees who have similar tenure tend to exchange security advice with each other more. Furthermore, the network of sharing security advice is transitive and has a tendency to form separate clusters. Security managers are suggested to take into account the research findings to identify key employees who frequently share security advice in the workplace and devise appropriate strategies to manage them.
