Abstract:

Large-scale data losses experienced across both public and private sector organisations have led to expectations that organisations will develop a culture that supports information security aims and objectives. Despite the fact that many organisations now run awareness, education and training programmes for their employees, however, information security incidents due to employee misuse of information still keep occurring. This suggests that these programmes are not working. The research presented in this thesis examines ways to better understand employees’ attitudes towards information securit

Abstract:

Increased demand by governments and patients for better healthcare communication has seen a growth in adoption of electronic medical records, with general practice as the cornerstone of this distributed environment. In this progressively more electronic state, general practice is charged with the responsibility to ensure confidentiality and privacy of patient infonnation. However, evidence suggests that protection of patient information is poorly handled in general practice. The deficiency in awareness of vulnerability and risk, together with the lack of appropriate controls and knowledge, lea

Abstract:

An increasing use of digital solutions suggests that organizations today are more exposed to attacks than before. Recent reports show that attacks get more advanced and that attackers choose their targets more wisely. Despite preventive measures being implemented, incidents occur occasionally. This calls for effective and efficient information security incident management. Several standards and guidelines addressing incident management exist. However, few studies of current practices have been conducted. In this thesis an empirical study was conducted where organizations' incident managem

Abstract:

Australia is in the process of adopting a national approach towards the secure electronic exchange of health information. The health information contributions of general practices as the primary point of patient medical care, will be critical to the success of an interoperable national healthcare system. Sharing information creates vulnerabilities by increasing exposure to information security threats. Consequently, improvement in information security practice within general practice may positively contribute towards improved patient care by providing access to timely and accurate information.

Abstract:

For organizations that handle sensitive information, IT governance and information security are necessities in order to maintain credibility and to conduct its business efficiently. There are several known processes to increase security governance – which is a fusion of information security and IT governance. This master thesis examines if organizations use recognized processes and if it in that case would lead to higher security. The study is qualitative and conducted in the financial sector and based on Best Practice frameworks of the security governance in Swedish banks. Data collection was

Abstract:

Traditionally, security has been conceptualized as rules, locks, and passwords. More recently, security research has explored how people interact in secure (or insecure) ways in part of a larger socio-technical system. Socio-technical systems are comprised of people, technology, relationships, and interactions that work together to create safe praxis. Because information systems are not just technical, but also social, the scope of privacy and security concerns must include social and technical factors. Clearly, computer security is enhanced by developments in the technical arena, where resear

Controller-Pilot Data Link Communication, a technology that has been introduced to help offload the congested, previously used voice communication in larger airports, has in recent years started being questioned on its sufficiency in security. As the traffic load in air traffic communication keeps demanding more reliable and secure systems, we will in this thesis look at how widely CPDLC is actually used in practice in Europe. By using the newly introduced technology in software defined radios, we show that it is possible to capture and decode CPDLC messages to readable plain text. We furtherm

This research contributes to the cloud computing (CC) literature and information science research by addressing the reality of information sharing and storage behavior (ISSB) of the users' personal information via CC.

Additionally, this research explores the concept of trust and its role in the behavioral change relative to CC. The findings help reconcile the paradox between the two realms.
