Information security research classification for future multimedia environment

In spite of the advancement of information security (IS) technology, information leakage incidents and accidents are continuously occurring. Its reason is because only technical countermeasures are devised rather than implementing countermeasures based on business perspective regarding IS. Accordingly, the purpose of this study is to design a classification system in the area of IS to solve such problem and seek balanced advancement, as well as examine the trend of IS researches that have been conducted. Upon designing the classification system based on the areas of IS technology and IS management for the IS academic areas, Korea domestic and international academic journals in the area of IS were selected to research and analyze theses that have been published in the last 5 years. The research result showed that there were more studies on IS technology area than IS management area, thereby confirming the greater research emphasis in the area of technology. In specific according to area, number of Korea domestic researches on infrastructure security technology was the highest in the area of IS technology. In the case of international researches, number of researches on the security of infrastructure was the highest. As for the IS management area, number of Korea domestic researches on IS level diagnosis was the highest, while number international researches on IS human resource management was the highest. The significance of this study is to contribute to the balanced advancement of IS area by designing IS classification system to present IS research trend and future research direction.
