| dc.description.abstract | Information has become a vital
and valuable asset to an organization. In
the banking sector, employees should have
a better knowledge about the security of
the information system since they are
always exposed to very confidential and
sensitive information. Thus, the awareness
on information security has become a
major area that should be focused on by the
employees as well as the management of
the banking industry. The objective of this
research is to evaluate the awareness of the
employees on information security in the
banking sector in Sri Lanka. This study is
based on Human Aspects of Information
Security Questionnaire (HAIS-Q). A
questionnaire was developed based on
relevant literature for collecting data in the
study. Regression analysis was carried out
using SPSS to analyze the collected data. It
was concluded that all the factors in HAISQ are predictors of employee information
security awareness (R2= 0.984). Although
all the variables have affected positively on
the awareness on information security in
the banking sector, the variables of
Password Management, Email Use, Internet
Use and Incident Reporting have a positive
and significant impact on the awareness of
employees on Information Security.
Especially the Password Management
significantly impacted on the awareness of
information security. The employers
should identify the importance of password
management, Email Use, Internet Use and
Incident Reporting when they structure
training activities for employees in the
banking industry | en_US |
