ABSTRACT

Information security is one of the most important issues in the information age. Computer viruses and other related information security matters are not only technical problems but also managerial ones. This study focuses on the managerial aspect of information security and identifies a number of factors affecting user’s behavioral intention to control computer viruses. A theoretical model incorporating security attitudes, risk perception, user's security propensity and organizational security policies, was tested using the survey data. Based on the risk analysis methodology for information systems, assets, threats and vulnerability are identified as the antecedent factors of user’s risk perception. The analysis using structural equation modeling shows that security threat and vulnerability have significant influence on risk perception, while the value of assets does not have significant relationship with risk perception. User’s security perception, user’s security propensity and security policy significantly affect risk perception. There is also a highly significant relationship between security attitudes and security intention, which implies that positive security attitudes lead to affirmative security intention.
