Organisational Learning Models For Information Security Education
نویسنده
چکیده
Humans today live in an emerging global information society, with a global economy that is increasingly dependent on the creation, management, and distribution of information resources. Information and its use permeate all aspects of modern society. Today, most organizations need information systems to survive and prosper. It is therefore imperative that modern organiza tions, operating in this global information society, take the protection of their information resources seriously. The protection of information resources is to a large extent dependent on human cooperated behaviour. This dependence on human behaviour makes it necessary to have a user education program to educate users regarding their roles and responsibilities towards information security. Recent studies have indicated that current user education programs fail to pay adequate attention to behavioural theories. There exist several organisational learning models that could be used for information security education. This paper will examine some of these models in terms of their applicability to information security education.
