Industrial technology outflow incidents negatively affect corporations, the industry, and countries. Yet, corporate information security is weak, and there is low awareness of the issue's seriousness. This study developed a rating model that can distinguish "importance" based on an objective standard. Fourteen components that can evaluate the importance of corporate information were derived from the related literature and verified for validity and reliability using factor analysis to organize final rating factors, such as Cost of Information Creation, Level of Information, Information Utilization, Effect of Internal Utilization, and Risk of External Leakage. A secondary survey targeted field experts to set the relative weights between five rating factors and give the relative weights for Effect of Internal Utilization Risk of External Leakage. A corporate information classification system was then designed to grades importance using the five factors. A final rating model of corporate information is suggested by defining security activity by level, granted by grade. This model is designed for corporate use and is expected to benefit economic security activity.
As the world enters a fourth Industrial Revolution, organizations worldwide face challenges in dealing with important assets such as industrial technology. Leaking these assets can not only damage organizations economically but also negatively affect customer relationships and brand image. This has led to an increased awareness of industrial security in both the business and academic spheres and a focus on identifying and implementing countermeasures against security incidents, as future computing environments will continuously face security threats. This study first examines the literature on industrial security and its current status in South Korea, which is considered an active industrial security research environment. Subsequently, meta-analyses are conducted on South Korea and abroad to compare their status and research trends in the industrial security field. The results confirm that South Korea has more actively conducted relevant studies compared to international research. This study contributes to the current literature by not only increasing the awareness of industrial security but also encouraging future studies in the field to facilitate a safe and sustainable computing environment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
