Abstract: The study ascertained influence of modern office technology skills on information security in public establishments in South East, Nigeria. Four research questions and four null hypotheses guided the study. Survey research design was adopted for the study and 386 secretaries in 91 ministerial departments in the five states of South-East, Nigeria were studied without sampling. Two instruments namely: Modern Office Technology Skills Questionnaire (MOTSQ), and Information Security Questionnaire (ISQ) structured in four-point scales were used for data collection. Pilot-testing was used to establish the reliability of the instruments. Cronbach Alpha method was used to obtain the reliability co-efficient and to determine the internal consistency. The values obtained was an overall reliability of 0.77 for MOTQ, while coefficient value of 0.73 was obtained for cluster D named ISQ. Mean and standard deviation were used to answer the research questions, while independent t-test was used to test the null hypotheses at 0.05 alpha level. The study concluded based on the findings that majority of modern office technology skills on information security in public establishments in South East, Nigeria mentioned were rated to high extent. The low extent rated on cloud computing skills showed that secretaries were unable to use it to reduce security hazards in public establishments. It was recommended among others that public establishments should provide secretaries with training and retraining programmes from time to time to help them learn new modern office technology skills like cloud computing or update existing ones that would improve their performance on information security.
