Abstract

Information security breaches and privacy violations are major concerns for many organisations. Human behaviour, either intentionally or through negligence, is a great source of risk to information assets. It is acknowledged that technology alone cannot guarantee a secure environment for information assets; human considerations should be taken into account as well as technological and procedural aspects.
