Abstract
This paper discusses employee security perception perspective. Perception is important as employee behaviour can be influenced by it. The intention is not to attempt an exhaustive literature review, but to understand the perception concept that can be used to cultivate an information security culture within an organisation. The first part highlights some of the concepts of perception. The second part interprets the employee security perception in the case study. Finally, a synthesized perspective on this perception is presented.
