Abstract:
This paper discusses the relationship between information security awareness and behavior by analyzing
data collected from a Web-based survey on information security measures in Japan. First, it is found that
individuals would not have problematic behavior from the viewpoint of information security measures if
the individual’s awareness is higher. Next, it is found that the awareness of individuals who have
problematic behavior despite being totally prohibited in the enterprise is different from individuals who
do not have problematic behavior, and the awareness of individuals in the latter group is larger than the
awareness of individuals in the former group, with a slightly higher probability.
