Recently, network security has become a major concern in cyber world. Thus, the need in cyber security is higher in order to make our data safety and privacy. The usages of internet are widely used in internet banking, online shopping, data storage, global positioning system, media and many other social applications. Security became a critical aspect in an overall information security area. Human error becomes a vulnerable to security breaches if a user did not practice safety behavior. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate the unsatisfactory factors towards individual, organization and information security awareness towards security breach among user in Kolej Poly-Tech MARA Batu Pahat (KPTM). By observing the literature review and related research, this study proposed a research model of the awareness of security breach relying on the individual, organization and information security awareness. In conjunction with proposed model, this study addresses 2 hypothesis which are; H1- there is no relationship between independence variables and dependence variable; H2- there is a relationship between independence variables and dependence variable. The descriptive research has been used to investigate awareness of information security that focus on human error, policy and procedure and information security awareness in education and experience by distributing the questionnaires. The respondents of this study involve 155 of user in KPTM that used techniques of snowballs to gather the data. This study might help IT Officer in Batu Pahat or others branches in KPTM to monitor the awareness level of users towards information security, thus can design an information security awareness programs like campaign, seminar and case study. Meanwhile, KPTM Batu Pahat also can design a more robust system policy and procedure that would ensure the systems with a condition of confidentiality, integrity and availability of the system. For future work, this study can be implement in different private and public colleagues and universities mainly at west region to cover a large population of sampling.
