Abstract: The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between internet security and e-business competence in Jordan. The proposed conceptual model examined the antecedents and consequences of e-business competence of its empirical validity, the sample of 152 banking and exchange firms, and tests the posited structural equation model. Results consistently support the validity of the proposed conceptual model, finding that both organizations realize the importance of e- business for their business and are willing to proceed further with e- business. In this regard, businesses are highly concerned about internet security, their awareness of security hazards, and minimal internet performance, concluding that public awareness of the ICT is very low. In light of the data collected, the study has proposed certain recommendations for the interested authorities to improve e- business in Jordan.
