Comparative Study on Information Schema Evaluation

With increasing dependence on information technology and information system, enterprises are confronting with a more and more complicated information security environment. Thus, information security has become an intractable problem for many enterprises. Generally speaking, there are two methods to improve enterprises’ information security level, that is, technology and management means. Technology means mainly settle software and hardware security of computers and networks, while management means mainly regulate and restrain the entire enterprise system including software, hardware, and employees. At present, a lot of enterprises mostly employ the technology means to solve information security problems. However, the lack or imperfection of information security institutions leads to bad enterprise information security situation. Therefore, technology and management means to solve information security are complementary to each other. As such, it is urgent and necessary to establish and improve information security institutions for many enterprises. In fact, enterprise information security is a complicated activity which needs different sectors to get involved in. More specifically, the information security departments play the very critical role in the implementation of information security institutions, and all employees should comply with the information security policy. Therefore, only the top management teams have the ability to coordinate the relationship between different departments, determine the introduction of information technology, and deploy the information systems. In response, top management support has an important impact on the construct of information security institutions and the effectiveness of information security management. So far, few studies have investigated the mechanism that how top management support affects information security legitimation, and legitimation information security management. Therefore, it has great theoretical and practical significance to the exploration of whether the legitimation supported by top management can improve the effectiveness of information security management. The objective of the current study is to explore whether legitimation prompted by top management team can improve the effectiveness of enterprise information security management. By doing so, the data was collected from the enterprises which have passed the certification of information security management system, and analyzed by using PLS-SEM. The results indicate that information security awareness can improve top management support（including top management belief and top management participation）and the effectiveness of information security management respectively. In addition, top management belief can improve implementation（the first stage of legitimation）and internalization（the second stage of legitimation）. Moreover, implementation can improve the effectiveness of information security management. This paper analyzes the way to enhance effectiveness of information security management, which has a reality-oriented meaning for prompting information security management of enterprises from the standpoint of institution.

PurposeEffective information security management is a strategic issue for organizations to safeguard their information resources. Strategic value alignment is a proactive approach to manage value conflict in information security management. Applying a critical success factor (CSF) analysis approach, this paper aims to propose a CSF model based on a strategic alignment approach and test a model of the main factors that contributes to the success of information security management.Design/methodology/approachA theoretical model was proposed and empirically tested with data collected from a survey of managers who were involved in decision-making regarding their companies’ information security (N = 219). The research model was validated using partial least squares structural equation modeling approach.FindingsOverall, the model was successful in capturing the main antecedents of information security management performance. The results suggest that with business alignment, top management support and organizational awareness of security risks and controls, effective information security controls can be developed, resulting in successful information security management.Originality/valueFindings from this study provide several important contributions to both theory and practice. The theoretical model identifies and verifies key factors that impact the success of information security management at the organizational level from a strategic management perspective. It provides practical guidelines for organizations to make more effective information security management.

Objective: The purpose of this article is to identify the positive values of the organisational culture, which have an impact on the effectiveness of information security management in the company. Methods: The study was performed based on a case study. The study was divided into two stages. The first stage consisted of conducting an interview with a person responsible for the information security in the studied company. While the second stage assumed obtaining the opinions of employees regarding the organisational culture and the positive values influencing the information security in the company. Based on the literature review, a survey questionnaire was prepared, which was used in the survey. The study was conducted in a company employing 35 people. Conclusions: The article highlights the important role of the positive values of the organisational culture, which impact the information security management in the company. Positive values have a big impact on maintaining the appropriate level of information security in the company. Originality/Value: The analysis of the obtained results shows that cultivating positive values in the company impacts the effectiveness of information security management. The study suggests that the development of positive values in the company creates not only the positive atmosphere at work, but it also affects the observance of procedures and rules in the field of information security.

The general scientific method of systems analysis is used to determine the features of interaction between IT services and security of companies and organizations of different industries in different regions of the world, as well as to study the problems and benefits of a unified consolidated IT management strategy and information security. The following results were obtained: based on quantitative and qualitative assessment, as well as analysis of the results of the survey of IT and security specialists and experts in the EMEA region, the participation of companies in the development and implementation of information security strategies was determined; the main tasks of IT and security services in the organization of their joint work and coordination of actions among themselves are defined; the main obstacles in the organization of joint work of IT services and security services of companies are investigated, among which significant are tensions and conflicts between employees of services, global and regional shortage of qualified personnel, technical difficulties. Conclusions: it is established that the consolidated strategy of IT management and information security based on advances in security and technology can help solve the main problems of effective interaction of relevant company services; developed a number of recommendations to address existing problems of building corporate strategies for effective IT management and information security, designed to help eliminate inconsistencies and improve the efficiency of relevant services to ensure effective information security of organizations in the EMEA in various organizations and companies, regardless of their field of activity.

Introduction: Health care organizations, particularly hospitals should follow a special strategy and implement their security system based on it in order to protect their data. Information security will be provided through performing a series of appropriate controls. ISO/IEC 27002 standard provides guidelines and general principles for starting, running, monitoring and improving information security management. This article aimed to determine the extent of compliance with information security management requirements in academic hospitals of Isfahan University of Medical Sciences. Materials and Methods: This applied study was a cross-sectional research which was performed in 2014. The research population included academic hospitals of Isfahan. The data collection tool was ISO/IEC 27002 standard checklist. The extent of compliance with information security management was examined in six hospital wards, including informatics, admission and discharge, income, laboratory, radiology, and pharmacy. Data was analyzed using SPSS. Results: Mean score of compliance with information security management requirements was estimated 68.1% in Isfahan academic hospitals. The highest level of requirements was related to security policies (76.7%) and requirements of acquisition, development, and maintenance of information systems (76.1%). However, the lowest level was associated with security of human resources (56.7%). Conclusions: Despite the efforts in hospital information system (HIS), hospitals still need more awareness toward principles of information security and management. In addition to investments on technical strategies, more attention is needed concerning non-technical and human factors such as the promotion of employees' knowledge of information security components in order to maintain information security.

Effective information security management (ISM) practices to protect the information assets of organizations from security intrusions and attacks is imperative. In that sense, a systematic literature review of academic articles focused on ISM in higher education institutions (HEIs) is conducted. For this purpose, an empirical study was performed. Studies carried out from 2012 onward reporting results from HEIs data that perform the ISM through various means, such as a set of framework functions, implementation phases, infrastructure services, and securities to their assets, have been explored. The articles found were then analyzed following a methodological procedure consisting of a systematic mapping study with their research questions, inclusion and exclusion criteria, selection of digital libraries, and analysis of the respective search strings. A set of competencies, resources, directives, and strategies that contribute to designing and to developing an ISM framework (ISMF) for HEIs is identified based on standards such as ISO 27000, COBIT, ITIL, NIST, and EDUCAUSE. This study introduces a strategic reference that guides HEIs on the development of an ISMF and provides recommendations that should be considered for its implementation in an era of ever-evolving security threats.

Information Security Management System (ISMS) implementation in Institution is an effort to minimize information security risks and threats such as information leakage, application damage, data loss and declining IT network performance. The several incidents related to information security have occurred in the implementation of the Academic System application in Indonesian higher education. This research was conducted to determine the maturity level of information security practices in Academic Information Systems at universities in Indonesia. The number of universities used as research samples were 35 institutions. Compliance with the application of ISO 27001:2013 standard is used as a reference to determine the maturity level of information system security practices. Meanwhile, to measure and calculate the level of maturity using the SSE-CMM model. In this research, the Information System Security Index obtained from the analysis results can be used as a tool to measure the maturity of information security that has been applied. There are six key areas examined in this study, namely the role and importance of ICT, information security governance, information security risk management, information security management framework, information asset management, and information security technology. The results showed the level of information security maturity at 35 universities was at level 2 Managed Process and level 3 Established Process. The composition is that 40% of universities are at level 3, and 60% are out of level 3. The value of the gap between the value of the current maturity level and the expected level of maturity is varied for each clause (domain). The smallest gap (1 level) is in clause A5: Information Security Policy, clause A9: Access Control, and clause A11: Physical and environmental security. The biggest gap (4 levels) is in clause A14: System acquisition, development and maintenance and clause A18: compliance.  Â

The role of business digitalization in the context of permanent changes in the marketing environment is determined. The key blocks of business digitalization that allow us quickly and timely respond to market requests, the needs of online shoppers are identified and interpreted. The satisfaction of market requests and needs of online shoppers is an important component of successful activity in the online space. The dependence between the digital business competitiveness and the ability of rational innovative technological approaches implementation in practice is proved. The significance of the correct implementation of innovative technological business approaches for the digital business stable development in modern realities is justified. In sampling acceptable alternative administrative decisions, the author proposes five contours of adaptation and/or sequestering of the complex of marketing programs and activities. The author provides recommendations on how to take into account relevant references when arguing and justifying digital business, which will contribute to the design of the digital endogenous ecosystem and ensure long-term business development. It is determined that the information protection provision is a participatory priority in the digital business development. It is substantiated that the digital business complementarily considers the use of heterogeneous methods of implementing innovative technologies, which determine the different directions of IT flows. The author formulates the guidelines for digital risk and information security management that are unified for implementation in the unstable conditions of digital transformation. The implementation in practice of these directives provides for the readiness of the digital business to adapt to the changing marketing environment, and contributes not only to the internal transformation of the digital business, but also to attract new investments for effective digital risk and information security management.

Information security II

Information security (IS) management is both complex and challenging. The complexity stems from the pervasive and multi-functional nature of IS, first, to protect organisations' valued assets, in order to achieve secure and dependable information assurance, and second, to advance business relations for the organisation by creating platforms for trust, business alliance and collaboration. Further, the ever-growing dependence of organisations on technology to drive businesses and to create a competitive advantage makes IS management for organisations extremely challenging. These challenges facing organisations in managing IS are numerous and inherently diverse. A traditional approach in addressing these challenges includes the use of technical controls to treat risks. Whilst technical controls are helpful in protecting valued assets, unfortunately, technical controls alone are insufficient in providing dependable security and information assurance required in a contemporary global enterprise. Global outsourcing, consumer-centricity, security compliance and legislation as emerging global business drivers have imposed new security requirements that complicate traditional perspective in security management.

In industrialized countries, such facilities are organized into an interconnected system — critical infrastructure in various fields of activity of states, and the information systems and telecommunications networks that support them into a critical information infrastructure. Purpose: The article examines the changing requirements for information security: from the requirements of maximum security to the more "lenient" requirements of the acceptable risk concept. The expediency of returning to the concept of maximizing security for critical information infrastructures is substantiated. Methods: As a model of the objective function of the protection system, the asymptotic information security management is considered, which makes it possible to gradually bring the required security values closer to the "ideal" ones during the operation of the control system. Results: The possibilities of implementing an asymptotic approach to information security management for various management system models developed in different countries are considered. The article analyzes the features of the implementation of the object and subject model of information security management systems in different operating conditions of the CII. The principal difference between the properties of these two models is the possibility of external control, which is typical for strict regulatory management (object model). Another (subject-based) model allows for flexibility and responsiveness in security management. In particular, the ability of the CI subject to promptly make independent decisions and take into account interactions with other CI (the subject model) reduces the response time of the management system to external influences. .When analyzing the prospects for the development of information security requirements, it is proposed to take into account not only national, but also international mechanisms for improving security. It is proposed to take into account for such mechanisms the threats and conditions that arise during hostilities or in the case of a terrorist threat. Practical relevance: The transition to the subject model when changing the target management paradigm within the framework of asymptotic management meets the requirements not only to reduce the hierarchy of management, but also to accelerate responses and. e their duplication.

The need for detection, identification and prediction of anomalies emerged just a short time ago. This task brings multiple challenges that are mainly associated with recording and detection of novel attacks and influences. It draws attention of experts in network security and diagnostics of information and industrial systems. Detection of anomalies in dynamic dataflows largely determines the efficiency of management of computer network information security within information and industrial systems. At the same time, the technology of dynamic dataflow prediction is also very important for building systems intended to detect anomalies in data protection within industrial control systems. Any automated systems are based on available computer capabilities and advances in management theory, mathematical modeling and optimizations methods. Processes that occur in industrial automated systems and that are reflected in dataflows being observed constitute complex multi-component processes, thus making it more complicated to predict such processes. In this case, complex multi-component time series data should be predicted at different (short-term, medium-term and long-term) time scales. A neural network architecture matching the structure of the multi-component time series being predicted should be built for generating a multi-component prediction. It is proposed to decompose the complex multi-component time series into several basic components using the digital signal processing technology, i. e. to perform a preliminary structural analysis of multi-component time series within the observed range of all time series that reflect operation of the industrial control system. Separate predictions with different time horizon are formed for each basic component of the multi-component time series using the available neural network architecture and machine learning taking into account dynamic characteristics of the above components. Anomalies in the observed range of multiple time series that reflect operation of the industrial control system are detected (identified) through component-wise comparison of each component (resulted from the above preliminary digital processing) of any time series within the observed range of all time series, with each prediction of the relevant component of the above time series within the observed range of all time series. This approach that implies component-wise comparison will allow to detect anomalies within the range of observed time series of the industrial control system separately by their different dynamic characteristics, and thus will improve the efficiency of management of information security within information and industrial systems.

IntroductionInformation security policy (ISP) compliance of employees has a profound impact on organization. In the context of information technology innovation and information systems upgrade, employees’ information security behavior is one of the most crucial elements in the information security management of organizations. Based on the two-dimensional model of challenge−hindrance stressor theory and affective events theory, this study explores the mediating effects of emotions on the relationship between challenge information security stress and ISP compliance.MethodsA field quasi-experimental method was used in this study. Materials include the Challenge Information Security Stress Scale, Information System Security Policy Compliance Scale, and Emotions Scale, which were used to form the two-stage questionnaire surveys. Data of 217 employees from three Chinese companies in Shanghai and Beijing that had passed certifications for information security management system (GB/t22080-2008/ISO/IEC 27001:2005) were collected. Bootstrapping method for multiple mediation models and the Process 3.0 plug-in of SPSS 20.0 were used for data analysis.ResultsThe findings indicate that challenge information security stress has a positive effect on ISP compliance. Challenge information security stress has a positive effect on positive emotions and a negative effect on negative emotions. Positive emotions have mediating effect between challenge information security stress and ISP compliance, but negative emotions have no mediating effect.ConclusionThe research results expand the research scope of challenging stress in the two-dimensional model of challenge−hindrance stressor theory in the context of organizational information security. The findings reveal the mediating effect of positive emotions in challenge information security stress and ISP compliance relationship, which provides empirical support for the application of positive psychology in the field of management.

The Information System Security is characterized by an organized frame of significances, perceptions, concepts, policies, procedures, techniques and measures that are required in order to protect individual resources – assets of the Information System, but also the entire system, from each intentional or accidental threat. The effective security management of an Information System initially requires the elaboration of a complete study, which is based on the methodology of Information System Risk Analysis and Management and which follows three main stages, according to the International Organization for Standardization: (a) Identification and valuation of assets, (b) Risk Analysis, which includes the threat assessment and the vulnerability assessment of the Information System and (c) Risk Management, which includes the selection of countermeasures, the determination of the security policy as well as the preparation, implementation and observation of the security plan. The purpose of this paper is to propose the effective guidelines that have to apply to all organisations (“participants”) in the new information society and suggest the need for a greater awareness and understanding of security issues and the need to develop a “security policy”.
