Enterprise Information Security Awareness and Behavior as an Element of Security Culture During Remote Work

Abstract

It's the first time that many users are operating their work from home. There is not only the tension of the uncertainty around the COVID-19 pandemic but also a time for adjusting people to their remote working habits considering ever-increasing cyber-attacks. When employees work in an office, there is an IT team working with them closely for their information security problems. However, it is difficult to provide sufficient information security protection that can compensate for human errors in remote working. Information security familiarity, information security awareness, and information security behavior are critical concepts to consider again during the pandemic as the new normal. In this chapter, a literature review will be conducted for information security awareness and information security familiarity concepts. Analysis of the context of these concepts is the aim of this chapter. This study can give insight to understand, evaluate, and determine the information security behavior of employees during new remote working conditions.
