<p>The unexpected
and unprecedented global pandemic of COVID-19 has brought dramatic changes to
the whole world. As a result of social distancing instituted to slow the pandemic,
teleworking has become the new norm in many organizations. The prevalence of
teleworking has brought not only benefits to organizations, but also security
risks. Although teleworking has existed for decades and many security related
issues have been studied by previous research, the researcher didn’t find any studies
that have assessed organization employee’s security awareness and concerns in
teleworking. Considering the vital importance of human security awareness in
protecting information security, it is necessary to learn the security
awareness situation in teleworking. Furthermore, employees with low security
awareness should be trained to improve the awareness level. Therefore, this
research intends to examine the current teleworking security awareness and
concerns in organizations by conducting a survey of workers. Through the survey
answers, the researcher found that the security awareness varies in groups of
teleworkers who are at different ages, from different industries and
different-sized organizations. Meanwhile, the researcher also found that
COVID-19 pandemic does not have much impact on people’s security concern in
teleworking scenarios. <br></p>
