However, social media also introduce significant risks to those who adopt it. A business can use existing IT governance control framework to address the risks introduced by social media.

Abstract:

This research investigates the relationship between security market measures of risk and audit risk. The auditor's decision making environment is extended to include the actions of the client firm's shareholders. Using the Nash equilibrium concept it is shown that, in equilibrium, the expected costs of auditing increase with the probability of a "bad" outcome in the securities markets. This result obtains in both strict liability and negligence regimes. The result is driven, in part by the insurance role of auditing. In empirical tests an association is established between security risk and au

Abstract:

The rapid growth of the Internet has served to intensify existing privacy concerns of the individual, to the point that privacy is the number one concern amongst Internet users today. Tools exist that can provide users with a choice of anonymity or pseudonymity. However, many Web transactions require the release of personally identifying information, thus rendering such tools infeasible in many instances. Since it is then a given that users are often required to release personal information, which could be recorded, it follows that they require a greater degree of control over the information

The problems with the existing sign-on scenario are that users have too much credential information to manage and are prompted for this information too often. Single Sign-On (SSO) is a viable solution to this problem if physical procedures are introduced to minimise the risks associated with its use. The Generic Secur

The modern organisation relies heavily on information to function effectively. With such reliance on information, it is vital that information be protected from both internal (employees) and external threats.

The behaviour of employees is one of the top information security issues facing organisations as the human factor is regarded as the weakest link in the security chain.

Abstract:

A malicious actor often relies on security vulnerabilities of IT systems to launch a cyber attack. Most cloud services are supported by an orchestration of large and complex systems which are prone to vulnerabilities, making threat assessment very challenging. In this research, I developed formal and practical ontology-based techniques that enable automated evaluation of a cloud system's security threats. I use an architecture for threat assessment of cloud systems that leverages a dynamically generated ontology knowledge base. I created an ontology model and represented the components of a cl

Abstract:

Includes bibliography.<br>The aim of undertaking the project was to investigate the activities of the University of Cape Town Campus Control unit. The study is based on the premise that there is an underestimation of Campus Control work. A number of basic questions were examined in the field. The researcher sought to determine, among other things, the extent to which the unit's work is invisible, and the extent to which the university community's reported ambivalence and indifference to Campus Control practice a result of a lack of clarity regarding the role of the unit within the university.

Abstract:

The increasing reliance on information technology to support business processes has emphasised the need for information security mechanisms. This, however, has resulted in an ever-increasing workload in terms of security administration. Security administration encompasses the activity of ensuring the correct enforcement of access control within an organisation. Access rights and their allocation are dictated by the security policies within an organisation. As such, security administration can be seen as a policybased approach. Policy-based approaches promise to lighten the workload of security

Abstract:

We consider the problem of designing enterprise network security systems which are easy to manage, robust and ﬂexible. This problem is challenging. Today, most approaches rely on host security, middleboxes, and complex interactions between many protocols. To solve this problem, we explore how new programmable networking paradigms can facilitate ﬁne-grained network control. We present Resonance, a system for securing enterprise networks , where the network elements themselves en- force dynamic access control policies through state changes based on both ﬂow-level information and real-time

Abstract:

Šiame darbe nagrinėjamas socialinės apsaugos priemonių nedarbo rizikos atveju taikymas. Atskleidžiama nedarbo, kaip socialinės rizikos, samprata ir neigiama įtaka valstybės ekonominei raidai ir gerovei. Apžvelgiamas valstybės garantuojamos socialinės apsaugos nedarbo atveju teisinis reguliavimas Lietuvos Respublikos ir tarptautiniuose teisės aktuose. Aptariami šio instituto teisinio reglamentavimo trūkumai. Darbe analizuojama ne tik Lietuvos, bet ir užsienio valstybių patirtis taikant socialinės apsaugos priemones nedarbo rizikos atveju.
