A Confirmatory Analysis of Information Systems Security Success Factors

Information security has received a great deal of attention from a number of researchers. However, there has been little research aimed at understanding the dimensions - within the organizational context - of information security success. The current study reviews a large body of information security literature and organizes the research based on the research findings. This structure is used to develop factors composing information security success. The dimensions are tested using survey-based methodology and Confirmatory Factor Analysis. Findings indicating mixed levels of model fit are presented, with indicators above and below levels of confidence, implying a need for further iterative study.
