摘要：This paper focuses on the relation between information security workforce and information security investment budgets. Organizations are currently interconnected via platforms, such as inter-organizational networks, because their needs have increased with regard to supporting Big Data and Cloud services. Studies define the relation between information security investment measures and vulnerability as a network linkage. However, measuring vulnerability as a network linkage is difficult because organizations presently have good inter-organizational network connections. To address these issues, we propose that vulnerability be measured as the size of an information security workforce (i.e., number of employees). In so doing, we identify the relation between vulnerability and information security investment. The results of this study can be used as bases for relating information security investments to a fixed number of information security investments. We believe the application of our findings will afford organizations a competitive advantage in information security investment and effective decision making.
