The purpose of this paper is to propose a theory of information security intelligence and examine the effects of managers’ information security intelligence (MISI) on employees’ procedural countermeasure awareness and information security policy (ISP) compliance intention.,A survey approach and structural equation modeling is utilized. Partial least squares (WarpPLS 6.0) and nonlinear algorithm are employed to analyze and examine the hypotheses. In total, 324 employees from companies in South Korea participated in the survey, which was conducted by a professional survey service company.,MISI positively affects employees’ awareness of information security procedural countermeasures; information security knowledge and problem-solving skills have positive effects on procedural countermeasures awareness; MISI increases employees’ compliance intention through procedural countermeasure awareness; and information security procedural countermeasures positively affect employees’ ISP compliance intention.,This study proposes a theory of information security intelligence and examines its impacts on employees’ compliance intentions. The study highlights the mediating role of information security procedural countermeasures between information security intelligence and employees’ compliance intentions.,Managers should improve and explicitly demonstrate information security knowledge and problem-solving skills to increase employees’ ISP compliance intention. To protect the organization’s intellectual capital, managers should champion the development and promotion of PCM, rather than leave these functions to the information security group.,This is the first empirical study to propose and validate MISI.

本文的目的是提出一种信息安全情报理论，并研究管理者的信息安全情报（MISI）对员工程序对策意识和信息安全政策（ISP）遵守意图的影响。利用建模。使用偏最小二乘（WarpPLS 6.0）和非线性算法来分析和检验假设。由一家专业调查服务公司进行的调查总共有来自韩国公司的324名员工参加。MISI对员工对信息安全程序对策的意识产生了积极影响；信息安全知识和解决问题的能力对程序对策的认识有积极作用；MISI通过程序对策意识提高了员工的合规意图；信息安全程序对策对员工的ISP合规意图产生了积极的影响。本研究提出了信息安全智能理论，并研究了其对员工合规意图的影响。该研究突出了信息安全程序对策在信息安全情报与员工合规意图之间的中介作用。经理应改进并明确展示信息安全知识和解决问题的技能，以提高员工的ISP合规意图。为了保护组织的智力资本，管理人员应该支持PCM的开发和推广，而不是将这些职能留给信息安全小组。
