Abstract

The creation, management, and distribution of information resources are becoming increasingly important to the global economy. Therefore, it is crucial for organizations to take seriously the protection of their information resources to function in this global society. And employees with their awareness and response are largely responsible for the protection of information resources. The objective of this study is to investigate the impact of learning culture of employees within organizations to Awareness and Response to Information Security Breaches. The material analyzed is collected through survey with information technology professionals within software industry. The findings show that Organizational learning culture are demonstrated to have a great impact on its employee awareness and ability to respond to information security breaches. We proposed a framework to analyze that Organizations which have prioritized and invested in learning culture (represented by Learning Culture Quotient - LCQ) had training as a continuous form of education which was planned, mandated, and measured (represented by Mandated Training Quotient - MTQ). This had a direct impact on the employee’s knowledge of Information security thereby leading to better awareness and response to information security breaches (represented by Awareness and Response Quotient - ARQ). We used scatter plot to confirm the linearity and coefficient of determination (r2 ) to assess a definitive correlation between the 3 variables – LCQ, MTQ and ARQ
