Περίληψη: | The security aspects of public
sector information systems are
important as the respective
systems are often part of critical
infrastructures or deal with
personal or sensitive data. A set of
53 Greek public sector
organizations were investigated by
means of a structured
questionnaire concerning
important aspects of information
systems security. We present the
relevant theoretical background,
the methodology of our research,
and an analysis of the obtained
results. Greek public sector
organizations have only a basic
level of information system
security awareness. Most care
about digital data confidentiality;
however, only a small percentage
have developed a systematic,
complete, and integrated
approach towards the security of
their information system,
including internal audit
procedures. The importance of
proper training and generally the
importance of the human factor for
achieving high levels of
information systems security is often underestimated |
