Abstract

Abstract:The continuous increase of digital connectivity has improved the capability that businesses have for the collection, manipulation, and distribution of data. Due to shortfalls in security, this capability has resulted in data-breach events being a weekly occurrence globally. Notification of these events is becoming commonplace, in part fueled by notification legislation in many jurisdictions. As of February 2018, mandatory reporting of data breaches came into force in Australia (Australian Notifiable Data Breaches scheme [NDB]), and this was followed by European legislation (GDPR) coming into force in May of the same year. This study aims to establish current levels of information-security awareness within typical consumers in Australia, their awareness of these legislative changes, and their ability to respond to such a notification of their personal information being leaked from a service or system. The research results suggest that consumers had a high level of information-security awareness, yet low awareness of notification legislation. The discussion revealed that expected outcomes primarily drove stakeholder behavior in relation to data-breach and legislation preparedness.

探讨消费者信息安全意识和数据泄露事件的防范

摘要:数字连接的不断增加提高了企业收集、操作和分发数据的能力。由于安全性不足，这种能力导致全球每周都会发生数据泄露事件。这些事件的通报正变得司空见惯，部分原因是由于许多司法管辖区的通报立法。截至2018年2月，澳大利亚开始强制报告数据泄露(澳大利亚应通报数据泄露计划[NDB])，随后欧洲立法(GDPR)于同年5月生效。本研究旨在确定澳大利亚典型消费者的当前信息安全意识水平，他们对这些立法变化的认识，以及他们对此类个人信息从服务或系统泄露的通知作出反应的能力。研究结果表明，消费者的信息安全意识较高，但通报立法意识较低。讨论显示，预期结果主要驱动利益相关者在数据泄露和立法准备方面的行为。
