ABSTRACT

The world’s best level of ICT(Information, Communication and Technology) infrastructure has experienced the world’s worst level of ICT accident in Korea. The number of major accidents of privacy invasion has been three times larger than the total number of Internet user of Korea. The cause of the severe accident was due to big data environment. As a result, big data environment has become an important policy agenda. This paper has conducted analyzing the accident case of data spill to study policy issues for ICT security from a social science perspective focusing on risk. The results from case analysis are as follows. First, ICT risk can be categorized ‘severe, strong, intensive and individual’ from the level of both probability and impact. Second, strategy of risk management can be designated ‘avoid, transfer, mitigate, accept’ by understanding their own culture type of relative group such as ‘hierarchy, egalitarianism, fatalism and individualism’. Third, personal data has contained characteristics of big data such like ‘volume, velocity, variety’ for each risk situation. Therefore, government needs to establish a standing organization responsible for ICT risk policy and management in a new big data era. And the policy for ICT risk management needs to balance in considering ‘technology, norms, laws, and market’ in big data era.
