The
purpose of this paper is to examine the information security awareness (ISA)
among undergraduate students in Saudi Arabia, using online survey. The survey
attracted 2325 respondents 828 male, and 1,497 female. The results reveal
that the most significant information security awareness problems are found
to lie in the areas of “Cloud storage security awareness,” “Social networking
security awareness” and “Wireless network security awareness.” This paper
contributes to the literature by identifying key findings and recommendations
regarding information security attitudes, behaviours, and tools used by
students along with suggestions for improving information security awareness
at institutions of higher education. In this paper, we will show the need for
security education, training, and awareness programs in universities in the
Middle East by presenting results of various information security issues and
threats in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia among students.

Analytic hierarchy process is a
multiple-criteria tool used in applications related to decision-making. In
this paper, analytic hierarchy process is used as guidance in information
security policy decision-making by identifying influencing factors and their
weights for information security policy compliance. The weights for intrinsic
motivators are identified based on self-determination theory as essential
criteria, namely, autonomy, competence, relatedness, along with behavioural
intention towards compliance; and use four awareness focus areas. A survey of
cyber-security decision-makers at a Fortune 600 organisation provided data.
The results suggest that behavioural intention (52% of the weight of
influencing factors) is more important than autonomy (21%), competence (21%)
or relatedness (6%) in influencing behaviour towards information security
policy compliance. Determining weights of intrinsic motivation, intention,
and awareness focus areas can help security decision-making and compliance
with policy, and support design of effective security awareness programmes.
However, these weights may in turn be affected by local organisational and
cultural factors.

Information
security policy compliance: Investigating the role of intrinsic motivation
towards policy compliance in the organization

ملخص المشاركة:

Recent
behavioural research in information security has focused on increasing
employees’ motivation to enhance the security performance in an organisation.
This empirical study investigated employees’ information security policy
(ISP) compliance intentions using self-determination theory (SDT). Relevant
hypotheses were developed to test the proposed research model. Data obtained
via a survey (N=407) from a Fortune 600 organisation in Saudi Arabia provides
empirical support for the model. The results confirmed that autonomy,
competence and the concept of relatedness all positively affect employees’
intentions to comply. The variable ‘perceived value congruence’ had a
negative effect on ISP compliance intentions, and the perceived legitimacy
construct did not affect employees’ intentions. In general, the findings of
this study suggest that SDT has value in research into employees’ ISP
compliance intentions.
