The transfer of huge amounts of funds over international financial markets from commercial activities involving the banking industry must provide a reliable operating environment to ensure data security. This study explores the relationship between bank employees’ information security awareness and performance of information security governance by employing empirical methods and collected data through a questionnaire with the subjects being bank employees. The goal is to understand the effects of the subjects’ information security awareness on the banks’ performance of information security governance from the analysis results. The results demonstrate that information security awareness produces a significant positive impact on the performance of information security governance - that is, information security awareness significantly affects the performance of information security governance. Moreover, the better the bank employees understand information security, the more significantly the information security governance influences information security awareness.
