Stanton, Mastrangelo and Jolton (2004) explained the analysis they made of end user security behavior. In fact, it promotes the action of a superior end-user behavior restricting poor end user and provides an important way for efficient production of information security in the organization. In addition, Stanton, Mastrangelo and Jolton (2004) when the user's information technology organization established they can affect the security of the information required in response to describe both harmful behavior and representative of information technology experts, management implementation, and interviews with 110 regular employees. Intentionality and technical expertise As a result, they have developed a taxonomy of six elements of safety behavior
Security and safety is the most important aspects in a security setting. The techniques that officers use to ensure security and safety are enhancing through the advancements in technology. Changes have been significant from the time before computers and the current status of high-tech computers and other technology. The changes have brought both positive and negative effects to security settings; however, the changes have been more positive than negative. Creating a safe and secure environment can create a positive atmosphere for everyone involved, so nothing could be more important than communicating the ways to

Security and ethical employees will continue to be a vital aspect of ensuring the success of an organization. There will always be a need for ethical IT security professional as hackers will continue to force organizations to make adjustments in their business models to protect their employees, data and customers. Many organizations and managers believe application security requires simply installing a perimeter firewall, or taking a few configuration measures to prevent applications or operating systems from being attacked. This is a risky misconception. By understanding threats and respect impacts, organizations will be equipped to maintain confidentiality, availability and
As such, our company’s people resources pose the greatest risk for security breach. Our way to help mitigate risk in this area is to keep communication lines open in this area and to continually mandate security knowledge training, with mandatory updates on a regular basis. When the employees are informed of company policy when facing a security matter, they are better equipped to act in the best or right way. In this way knowledge is power – or at least empowerment to act in the best interest of the company’s information security.
This explanation clearly shows that security and usability both do not go side by side. Many software developers say that improving usability degrades security and vice-versa. On the other hand user belief that being difficult, is a part of being secure. The methodology used in this study it uses a laboratory test which asks users to perform tasks that include the use of securiy. Study is comprised of both the methods i.e. quantitative and qualitative approaches. The Polaris documentation was also included as it is considered a part of the software
4. Security Awareness: A large percentage of successful attacks do not necessarily exploit technical vulnerabilities. Instead they rely on social engineering and people’s willingness to trust others. There are two extremes: either employees in an organization totally mistrust each other to such an extent that the sharing of data or information is nil; or, at the other end of the scale, you have total trust between all employees. In organizations neither approach is desirable. There has to be an element of trust throughout an organization but checks and balances are just as
The purpose of each control on the Sphere of Protection is to protect the valuable information and information systems assets. The focus of each control is management, operational, and technical controls in which sums up the sphere of protection. Management controls cover security processes designed by strategic planners and performed by security administration (2) Operational controls deal with operational functionality of security in organization and (3) Lastly, technical controls address tactical and technical implementations related to designing and implementing security in
Information systems are known to be at risk from malicious attacks, user error, and from other disasters. As technology is relied upon more heavily and computer systems become interdependent and accessible by more individuals, the susceptibility to threats increases. In addition, individuals are developing high levels of computer skills that results in an increased risk of intrusion from outsiders. The Information Security Risk Assessment will determine the assets of the company, organizational risks, the current security posture, any areas of risk for GDI, and recommend a mitigation strategy for reducing information security risks and implementing strategies to reduce these risks. Through the Information Security Risk Assessment, GDI is taking steps to ensure that the organization identifies significant risks and determines the best method to mitigate the risks.
Objective • Human resources policies and practices should reduce the human risk factors in information technology (IT) security and information access controls. Decrease the risk of theft, fraud or misuse of information facilities by employees, contractors and third-party users.
Organizations emphasized the use of physical security to help enable the use of physical access controls. It was reported that physical security became difficult to manage due to technology becoming complex every day (Hutter,2016). It was indicated that organization often over looked physical security until after a serious event had occurred. Per Hutter, physical security threats were either internal or external. Employees were considered external threats when they gain access to unobserved areas and were considered internal threats when their knowledge was utilized. Organizations were noted to implement the use of physical security through locked doors, access control systems (i.e. Paxton Access Inc, Identiv), alarm systems and many other important applicable measures.
This paper explored the perceptions of managers considered to be digital natives with regard to information security risks, and the responsibilities of management for risk avoidance and risk management in their enterprises. The study outcomes point to high concerns about misuse of IT systems information theft and fraud were common themes. This study has relevance to my research since it focuses on business employees as a risk
Participants reported that undergoing training and taking security seriously reduced unauthorized disclosures. Arachchilage and Love (2014) confirmed the need for information security training. The researchers suggested that personnel have an insufficient amount of both knowledge and training to mitigate threats related to information security. For instance, organizations attempt to counter information security threats by publishing organizational policies and conducting periodic information security-training that assist in the mitigation efforts to thwart threats such as fraud, viruses, malware, spyware, and social engineering attacks (Arachchilage & Love, 2014; Chen, Ramamurthy, & Wen, 2015; Singh et al., 2013).
Every organization has risks and it is extremely critical for them to identify what these risks are and to mitigate and avoid further damages in case of disastrous events. These disastrous events can be prevented by designing and implementing a robust security monitoring system and utilizing industry proven practices and activities. Information Security refers to safety of information in terms of confidentiality, integrity, availability, and non-repudiation (Byrnes & Proctor, 2002). This document will provide a clear definition about the security monitoring activities that should be designed and conducted in an organization that has both internal and
The main focus of this research paper is to identify and examine different types of information system security plan that will eventually helps an organization to run smoothly. The policy and analysis guidelines are needed to represent the relationship between organization policy as well as selected policy. Every organization should have a system security plan (SSP) which will apply to major as well as minor information systems. The better implementation of security policy will preserve as well as protect organizational classified data. System security plan should be configured in a way that the information should be confidential, reliable, and available whenever needed. The information system security plans need to be reviewed in order to mitigate flaws or loopholes in the information system.
There are a number of critical social and organizational issues with security. The first is that the weak link in security is often users or employees, rather than the technology. The second is software engineering management, or managing how security technology is deployed. The third is the development of adequate organizational processes for risk management, separation of duties, and development of security policies, access control, and security assurance.
