Information security : Informal security within information security revisions

Andersson, Adam, Gårdenheim, Simon, Josefsson, Anton · Jonkoping University Library (Jönköping University) · 2020

Informell säkerhet är en kategori inom informationssäkerhet som innefattar människors attityder, uppfattningar och värderingar. Trots att informationssäkerhetsrevisioner utförs regelbundet mot organisationer är det oklart hur mycket informell säkerhet appliceras i dessa revisioner. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka informell säkerhet och hur denna appliceras i informationssäkerhetsrevisioner. Undersökningen görs genom en tematisk analys av semi-strukturerade intervjuer.Resultatet av studien påvisar att det finns en bristande medvetenhet gällande informell säkerhet hos organisationer. Prioriteringarna hos organisationerna är istället den tekniska säkerheten. Studien uppmärksammar vikten av informell säkerhet och att denna inte glöms bort jämfört med de tekniska säkerhetsaspekterna.Slutsatsen i studien är att det krävs mer forskning inom området som både fokuserar på informell säkerhet i sin helhet men även hur informell säkerhet förhåller sig till organisationskultur. Det finns ett antal förbättringsområden inom området, mestadels kopplade till medvetenhet och utbildningsinsatser. Det fundamentala förbättringsområdet identifierades dock i att organisationer får en grundlig och klar insyn i vikten av väl hanterad informell säkerhet.

Information Security Auditor: Careers in information security

Wendy Goucher · 2016

Identifying security gaps in an organisation's information systems is a first and vital step in protecting data and information. This is what makes the role of an information security (or assurance) auditor so important. However, this is a role that is often maligned as a 'check list monkey' who adds nothing to the business. This practical book confronts this stereotype and gives an excellent introduction to the role, covering areas such as purpose, required skills, responsibilities, interface and career progression as well as tools, standards and frameworks related to the role. Based on the author's extensive experience, it gives practical guidance to those new to the role or interested in developing a better understanding of what it entails.

Reliable multicast protocols are an important class of protocols for reliably disseminating information from a sender to multiple receivers in the face of node and link failures. A Tree-based Reliable Multicast Protocol (TRAM) provides scalable reliable multicast by grouping receivers in hierarchical repair groups and using a selective acknowledgment mechanism. In this paper, we present an improvement to TRAM to minimize the resource utilization at intermediate hosts and to localize the effect of slow or malicious receivers on normal receivers. We present an evaluation of TRAM and TRAM++ on a campus-wide WAN without errors and with message errors. The evaluation brings out that, given a constraint on the buffer availability at intermediate hosts, TRAM++ can tolerate the constraint at the expense of increasing the end-to-end latency for the normal receivers by only 3.2 % compared to TRAM in error-free cases. When slow or faulty receivers are present, TRAM++ is able to provide the same uninterrupted quality of service to the normal nodes while localizing the effect of the faulty ones without incurring any additional memory overhead.

Information Security

2006

Information security is a generic term including all measures against unauthorized use of computer networks and individual workstations and against the destruction or distortion of computer files. In a narrower sense, information security often refers to the protection of computer networks against intrusion and abuse, and information assurance to guaranteeing the authenticity of computer files. In the few years, information assurance and security (IAS) has evolved from a narrow specialization in computer science to a multidisciplinary field comprising philosophers (ethics), psychology (human factors in computer use), sociology (forensics), political science (counter-terrorism), management (risk, e-commerce), linguistics (special measures for protecting natural language files), communication (supervision and privacy), and several other domains.

Organizations rely on digital information today more than ever before. Unfortunately, that information is equally sought after by criminals. New security standards and regulations are being implemented to deal with these threats, but they are very broad and organizations require focused guidance to adapt the guidelines to their specific needs.<

John Peter Jesan · Ubiquity · 2006

Nowadays, information is one of the very important assets in almost all organizations. Once the internal networks of those organizations are connected to the Internet, it becomes a potential target for cyber attacks. In order to secure the systems and information, each company or organization should conduct a self-hacking-audit, analyze the threats and eliminate it beforegetting any problem. This paper explains about the main goals of information security, its major threats and some suggestions to prevent the systems from major threats.
