Abstract:
The corporate scandals of the last few years have changed the face of information security and its governance. Information security has been elevated to the board of director level due to legislation and corporate governance regulations resulting from the scandals. Now boards of directors have corporate responsibility to ensure that the information assets of an organisation are secure. They are forced to embrace information security and make it part of business strategies. The new support from the board of directors gives information security weight and the voice from the top as well as the fi

Many people have accounts in different sites, and the problem is that hundreds of millions of passwords are being compromised by cybercriminals every year. People finally need to understand that the Internet is a very hostile place, while online service providers need to finally start taking network security seriously. One of the world’s leading password crackers just got better and is now able to crack passwords of up to 55 characters in length and algorithms such as TrueCrypt 5.0+, LastPass and Samsung Android Password/PIN.

This thesis argues that in order to establish a sound information security culture it is necessary to look at organisation's information security systems in a socio- technical context. The motivation for this research stems from the continuing concern of ineffective information security in organisations, leading to potentially significant monetary losses. It is important to address both technical and non- technical aspects when dealing with information security management.

In the era of information, it has become vital for companies to make sure that their information is properly protected. They are therefore, willing to spend large amounts of resources on protecting their information. This can usually be done in a large variety of ways. The root of information security is first and foremost, having policies that regulate how information security is upheld. And secondly, by teaching employees proper practice of information security. These are however procedures that are not all that common in a university environment, and even more so in relation to students.

Many surveys have indicated the importance of protecting valuable information and an important aspect that must be addressed in this regard is information security awareness. The human component has been recognized to have an important role in information security since

Abstract:
Attacks on computer systems continue to be a problem. The majority of the attacks target home computer users. To help mitigate the attacks some companies provide security awareness training to their employees. However, not all people work for a company that provides security awareness training and typically, home computer users do not have the incentive to take security awareness training on their own. Research in security awareness and security behavior has produced conflicting results. Therefore, it is not clear, how security aware home computer users are or to what extent security awareness

Abstract:
This study originated from the realisation that the information security industry has identified the information security policy as one of the most important information security management controls. Within the industry there are, however, differing views as to what constitutes an information security policy, what it should contain, how it should be developed and how it should best be disseminated and managed. Numerous organisations claim to have an information security policy, but admit that it is not an effective control. The principal aim of this study is to make a contribution to the infor

Abstract:
The current study originated from the realisation that information security is no longer solely dependent on technology. Information security breaches are often caused by users, most of the time internal to the organisation, who compromise the technology-driven solutions. This interaction between people and the information systems is seemingly the weakest link in information security. A people-oriented approach is needed to address this problem. Incorporating the human element into information security could be done by creating an information security culture. This culture can then focus on th

This means that information security has undergone different development changes due to new technologies in the past few years. Information security became prominent around 50 years ago and had a very strict technical approach. In this approach, industries mainly
