摘要：Information system (IS) security is fundamental to protect the confidential data from unwanted threats. Similarly, with respect to security agencies in public sector, the protection IS assets is important from both internal and external security. Mostly, it is found that organizations widely focus on external security while overlooked the internal security measures mainly associated with the human resource i.e. behaviour of IS users toward security. Therefore, this study specifically focuses on the awareness of human resource since employees in an organization must be aware of the significance of the systems’ protection as they play fundamental role in securing or destroying IS of an organization. This study sheds light on the awareness among the employees in the UAE law enforcement agencies since they are responsible for the protection of homeland as well as the public data and information due to which the high level of security have to be ensured. The methodology adopted to achieve the study purpose is based on the quantitative method in which survey was conducted from randomly selected 500 employees working in the UAE law enforcement agencies. The results revealed that the awareness and behaviour competencies of IS users about security controls develop a greater sense of protecting and securing the potential information assets of an organization, but in the UAE law enforcement agencies, the unsatisfactory level of awareness has been identified. In result, Information System Security Awareness and Behaviour Competence Model (ISSABCM) is developed and suggested for the UAE law enforcement agencies that matches with their culture as well as fill the gaps in existing awareness models.
