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.
