  • Published:
Scientific and Technical Information Processing Aims and scope

Abstract

Based on the analysis of such current trends in the field of information security and the post-industrial economy as the paradigm of “security through development,” the culture of information security as a necessity to reduce information-security risks, and the approach that considers a person as capital, the concept of the cultural capital of corporate information security as an integral part of the cultural capital of an organization is justified. A procedure is developed for the risk assessement of personnel in information security, based on the index of confidence as the ratio of the individual cultural information-security capital to the corporate cultural information-security capital.
