Abstract

This research aims to study 1. factors influencing information technology security, and 2. appropriate operational guidelines and measures for managing information technology security to protect personal data in electronic transactions of Thai commercial banks. This research employed a mixed-methods approach using simple random sampling. The research instruments included data analysis using structural equation modeling and content analysis.

The research findings revealed that 1. information technology management had the greatest overall influence on information technology security, followed by the role of commercial banks, the role of government, and the role of citizens, respectively, and 2. the guidelines for managing information technology security to protect personal data in electronic transactions of Thai commercial banks consist of (1) policy formulation and governance structure (2) risk assessment and management (3) access control and authentication (4) data encryption and encryption key management (5) network and system security (6) secure system development (7) security incident management (8) business continuity management (9) external service provider management (10) awareness raising and training (11) compliance with laws and international standards (12) auditing and effectiveness evaluation (13) information asset management (14) physical security (15) personal data management, and (16) monitoring emerging threats.
