Public IT service strategy for social information security in the intelligence all-things environment

Abstract

In the area of public information service, information leakage through an insider is occurring frequently in recent. Considering the difficulty in tracking security breach incidents upon using cutting-edge technology instead of technology-centered security measure, establishing fundamental solution strategy is essential since the era of intelligence all-things environment is approaching which is referred to as future information & communications convergence environment. However, existing studies on the prevention of personal information leakage & misuse through insider have been centered on technical approach but security studies on managerial factor, especially, on identifying the possibility of information leakage in connection to work process have been very lacking. This study proposed ways to improve public information service for the social information security of individuals such as personal or policy information that are dealt with in public information service. It examined vulnerabilities in managerial, technical and operating environment areas for the purpose of preventing personal information leakage and misuse by selecting 8 representative public information services. For the purpose of solving such vulnerabilities, public information service strategy was deduced for preventing personal information leakage and misuse by referring to both domestic and international studies and cases on personal information protection.
