Because of recent security breaches such as firm’s personal information leakages and DDOS attacks, it is emphasized that firm’s effort to improve information security. However, there were not any studies about external effect of firm’s information security investment, which is significant to examine firm’s accurate security statements. Therefore, this study investigates the spillover value of investment in IT security, based on competitors’ market value changes regarding firm’s information security investment announcement. Using a sample of 80 announcements of IT security investment with 672 competitors whose stocks are traded in Korean stock market between 2008 and 2016, we find negative effects on competitive firms’ stock value which were examined by event study methodology. Interestingly, negative external effects on rival firms’ value tend to result in more significant than direct effect on stock value of company who invested. Another impressive factor, the effect of legislation, was also confirmed in this study.
