Abstract

It is well known that humans are the weakest link in computer security, and that developing and maintaining a culture of computer security is essential for managing the human aspect of computer security. It is less well known how a comprehensive computer security policy incorporating both information technology computer security, and operational technology computer security, impacts a culture of computer security. While a literature review of this domain includes research on the impact of various aspects of a computer security policy on computer security culture, no peer reviewed research was found that explained the impact of a comprehensive computer security policy on computer security culture through an understanding of its direct or indirect effects. Thus, it is the thesis of this study that a comprehensive computer security policy has a direct effect on computer security culture, which can be further explained through indirect effects.
