Improving An Organisations Existing Information Technology Policy To Increase Security, Shane Talbot, Andrew Woodward
Improving An Organisations Existing Information Technology Policy To Increase Security, Shane Talbot, Andrew Woodward
Australian Information Security Management Conference
A security policy which includes the appropriate phases of implementation, enforcement, auditing and review is vital to protecting an organisations information security. This paper examined the information security policy of a government organisation in response to a number of perceived shortcomings. The specific issues identified relating to the organisations security policy as a result of this investigation were as follows: a culture of ignoring policies, minimal awareness of policies, minimal policy enforcement, policy updating and review ad hoc at best, policy framework, lengthy policy development and approval process, no compliance program, no formal non-compliance reporting and an apparent inconsistent enforcement …

What Does Security Culture Look Like For Small Organizations?, Patricia A. Williams
Australian Information Security Management Conference
The human component is a significant factor in information security, with a large numbers of breaches occurring due to unintentional user error. Technical solutions can only protect information so far and thus the human aspect of security has become a major focus for discussion. Therefore, it is important for organisations to create a security conscious culture. However, currently there is no established representation of security culture from which to assess how it can be manoeuvred to improve the overall information security of an organization. This is of particular importance for small organizations who lack the resources in information security and …

Exploring The Relationship Between Organizational Culture And Information Security Culture, Joo S. Lim, Shanton Chang, Sean Maynard, Atif Ahmad
Australian Information Security Management Conference
Managing Information Security is becoming more challenging in today’s business because people are both a cause of information security incidents as well as a key part of the protection from them. As the impact of organizational culture (OC) on employees is significant, many researchers have called for the creation of information security culture (ISC) in organizations to influence the actions and behaviour of employees towards better organizational information security. Although researchers have called for the creation of ISC to be embedded in organizations, nonetheless, literature suggests that little past research examining the relationship between the nature of OC and ISC. …
Consensual Security Risk Assessment: Overcoming Bias, Conflicting Interests And Parochialism, Benjamin Beard, David J. Brooks
Consensual Security Risk Assessment: Overcoming Bias, Conflicting Interests And Parochialism, Benjamin Beard, David J. Brooks
Australian Security and Intelligence Conference
In a risk assessment process, insular methods of data collection and analysis may lead to an inaccurate risk assessment as stakeholders hold individual biases, conflicting interests and parochial approaches to certain risks. The article considered these issues and tested a consensual risk assessment approach that can overcome many of these issues. A staged risk assessment process was applied within an entertainment complex in the Security, and Food and Beverage Departments. Eight supervisors from the two departments participated in the study, with each participants individually interviewed on their view of predefined risks followed by the same risks discussed within a facilitated …
An Analysis Of Small Business Owners' Participation In Online Learning, Tara Smith, Susan Stoney, Elizabeth Walker
An Analysis Of Small Business Owners' Participation In Online Learning, Tara Smith, Susan Stoney, Elizabeth Walker
Research outputs pre 2011
Small business owner-managers are a difficult group to engage in training and learning activities and the delivery medium has often been cited as a reason. This paper reports the preliminary findings of a qualitative research project regarding small business owner-manager participation in an online collaborative learning forum. The findings suggest that three principle themes emerged to explain why some small business owner-managers participated in the forum. These include; access to a networked computer; the personal characteristics of the small business owner-manager, and the design of the online learning forum. The findings also suggest that learning styles need to be specifically …
A Multi-Factor Analysis Of Areit Returns, Jaime L.P. Yong
A Multi-Factor Analysis Of Areit Returns, Jaime L.P. Yong
Research outputs pre 2011
Since 1990, the Australian Real Estate Investment Trust (AREIT) sector has experienced substantial growth and popularity. While the AREIT sector had benefit from the increased flow of funds from institutional investors during the 1997 Asian financial crisis, the recent impact of the 2008 global financial crisis has been a negative one. In this paper, we examine the sensitivities of annualised AREIT returns against a set of seven firm-specific variables and four market-wide risk variables. Balanced and unbalanced panel regressions are conducted on three sub-periods during 1990 – 2008 corresponding to the major phases in evolution of the AREIT sector. Our …

A Review Of Interventions To Encourage Smes To Make Environmental Improvements, Craig M. Parker, Janice Redmond, Mike Simpson
Research outputs pre 2011
Small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) are an important part of the world economy but they are thought to be responsible for around 60% of all carbon dioxide emissions and 70% of all pollution. SMEs often have major problems with limited resources, limited knowledge and limited technical capabilities to deal with their own negative environmental impact. SMEs exhibit widely differing characteristics and commitment where environmental issues are concerned. Yet under these conditions they are all expected to engage in environmental improvement. Interventions that encourage environmental improvement are often polarised between regulation and legislation at one extreme and voluntary environmental agreement …
Environmental Education In Small Business: The Owner-Manager's Perspective, Janice Redmond, Elizabeth Walker
Environmental Education In Small Business: The Owner-Manager's Perspective, Janice Redmond, Elizabeth Walker
Research outputs pre 2011
Traditionally, environmental education has been aimed at the community or in primary schools and governmental pressure to reduce environmental damage has focussed on large businesses. More recently, the role and importance of small business and how to engage them in the environmental debate has come under scrutiny. Researchers have identified education as one method of increasing the understanding of small business owner-managers’ role and knowledge of practices that, when implemented, will reduce the negative impacts of their businesses. However, there is little attention given in the literature to the perspective of the small business owner-manager and environmental education. This research …
Knowledge Management In An Organisational Climate Of Uncertainty And Change: A Longitudinal Case Study Of An Australian University, Denise Gengatharen, Craig Standing, Shirlee-Ann Knight
Knowledge Management In An Organisational Climate Of Uncertainty And Change: A Longitudinal Case Study Of An Australian University, Denise Gengatharen, Craig Standing, Shirlee-Ann Knight
Research outputs pre 2011
Universities are in the knowledge business and are expected to be at the forefront of knowledge management (KM). However, KM in a university is complex given the diversity of stakeholder groups. This is exacerbated in the Australian context by the changing climate of rationalisation, corporatisation and marketisation universities faced in the past decade. This paper investigates KM strategies in an Australian university to uncover barriers to knowledge-sharing among academics. Although the organisational infrastructure supports KM, many academics have not actively embraced it. One reason is that they struggle with KM for operational excellence in the increasing administrative aspects of the …
