Analysis of personal information security behavior and awareness

Consumer valuation of personal information in the age of big data

“…It was found that money plays a role in users' decisions to disclose their identity. Some previous research analyzed people's behavior and awareness regarding personal information using a survey method (Chen & Rea, ; Min & Kim, ; Min, ; Ögütçü, Testik, & Chouseinoglou, ). All of these survey results indicated that users are concerned about the collection and misuse of their personal information.…”

“…However, this privacy concern can be offset by some kinds of benefit (Hann et al, ; Steinfeld, ; Min & Kim, ). Moreover, studies have shown that users have heterogeneous attitudes toward privacy and thus can be categorized into different segments according to their attitudes toward privacy (Hann et al, ; Feijóo et al, ; Steinfeld, ; Ögütçü et al, ).…”

The impact of leadership on employees' intended information security behaviour: An examination of the full‐range leadership theory

“…Employees' information security awareness and behaviour, and their resulting (non)compliance with information security policies, which has attracted increased attention in research, are considered a key socio‐organizational resource (Boss, Galletta, Lowry, Moody, & Polak, ; Bulgurcu, Cavusoglu, & Benbasat, ; Dhillon & Backhouse, ; Guo, Yuan, Archer, & Connelly, ; Hu, Dinev, Hart, & Cooke, ; Siponen & Vance, ). While referring to employees as the weakest link in the information security chain, researchers have focused on employees' individual perspectives (Crossler et al, ; Hu et al, ; Kearney & Kruger, ; Öğütçü, Testik, & Chouseinoglou, ; Wall, Prashant, & Lowry, ; Wang, Xiao, & Rao, ; Warkentin & Willison, ). A major challenge for organizations is to find an effective way to promote information security policies to individual employees (Boss, Kirsch, Angermeier, Shingler, & Boss, ; Cram, Proudfoot, & D'Arcy, ; Lowry & Moody, ) because employees have considerable influence on the effectiveness of the information security efforts of the organization (Herath et al, ; Öğütçü et al, ; Posey, Roberts, Lowry, & Hightower, ).…”

A Differentiated Anonymity Algorithm for Social Network Privacy Preservation

“…To settle this problem, in this paper, we try design a proper utility loss metric function named UL(G,G') shown in Equation (2). This metric measures both the structure interference and information loss of different anonymizing operations.…”

“…Additionally, the k-anonymity l-diversity models aim to sanitize the published graph, eventually leading to data usability reduction for published social network data. Therefore, the tradeoff between the individual's privacy security and data utility while publishing the social network data has become a major concern [2][3][4].…”
