Importance Of Verification And Validation Of Data Sources In Attaining Information Superiority, Gautham Kasinath, Leisa Armstrong
Importance Of Verification And Validation Of Data Sources In Attaining Information Superiority, Gautham Kasinath, Leisa Armstrong
Leisa Armstrong
Information superiority has been defined as a state that is achieved when a competitive advantage is derived from the ability to exploit a superior information position. To achieve such a superior information position enterprises and nations, alike, must not only collect and record correct, accurate, timely and useful information but also ensure that information recorded is not lost to competitors due to lack of comprehensive security and leaks. Further, enterprises that aim to attain information superiority must also ensure mechanisms of validating and verifying information to reduce the chances of mis-information. Although, research has been carried out into ways to …
Cyber Security And Mobile Threats: The Need For Antivirus Applications For Smart Phones, Jorja Wright, Maurice E. Dawson Jr., Marwan Omar
Cyber Security And Mobile Threats: The Need For Antivirus Applications For Smart Phones, Jorja Wright, Maurice E. Dawson Jr., Marwan Omar
Maurice Dawson
Smartphones are becoming a vehicle to provide an efficient and convenient way toaccess, find and share information; however, the availability of this information hascaused an increase in cyber attacks. Currently, cyber threats range from Trojans andviruses to botnets and toolkits. Presently, 96% of smartphones do not have pre-installedsecurity software. This lack in security is an opportunity for malicious cyber attackers to hackinto the various devices that are popular (i.e. Android, iPhone and Blackberry). Traditionalsecurity software found in personal computers (PCs), such as firewalls, antivirus, andencryption, is not currently available in smartphones. Moreover, smartphones are even morevulnerable than personal computers because …

Understanding The Need And Importance Of The Cloud Computing Environment Within The National Institute Of Food And Agriculture, An Agency Of The United States Department Of Agriculture, Festus Onyegbula, Maurice Dawson, Jeffrey Stevens
Maurice Dawson
Aligning information systems to corporate goals has emerged as a leading concern over the last couple of decades. It is essential that we understand the need for cloud computing and how this technology can be implemented. Through this literature review we review theories of cloud computing and further elaborate on the theoretical framework for the implementation of cloud computing technology across organizations. We also detail cloud computing implementations across various governmental organizations and also across the industry. This review is expected to provide the current study with a more practical perspective on the issues and complexities of using cloud computing …
Integrating Software Assurance Into The Software Development Life Cycle (Sdlc), Maurice Dawson, Darrell N. Burrell, Emad Rahim, Stephen Brewster
Integrating Software Assurance Into The Software Development Life Cycle (Sdlc), Maurice Dawson, Darrell N. Burrell, Emad Rahim, Stephen Brewster
Maurice Dawson
This article examines the integration of secure coding practices into the overall Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). Also detailed is a proposed methodology for integrating software assurance into the Department of Defense Information Assurance Certification & Accreditation Process (DIACAP). This method for integrating software assurance helps in properly securing the application layer as that is where more than half of the vulnerabilities lie in a system.

Wireless networking has become an extremely common household technology in a matter of only a few years. Concerns for privacy have become more relevant than ever, with more cases of identity and data theft occurring everyday. Initially, consumer grade wireless technology was distributed without security being a major concern. Today, almost every consumer grade wireless router comes with either “out-of-the-box” encryption or with relatively easy to follow instructions on how to properly secure the household wireless infrastructure. In this paper we investigate wireless technology and the implications related to the privacy of the average user.
Economics Of Information Security Investment In The Case Of Simultaneous Attacks, C. Derrick Huang, Qing Hu, Ravi S. Behara
Economics Of Information Security Investment In The Case Of Simultaneous Attacks, C. Derrick Huang, Qing Hu, Ravi S. Behara
Qing Hu
With billions of dollars being spent on information security related products and services each year, the economics of information security investment has become an important area of research, with significant implications for management practices. Drawing on recent studies that examine optimal security investment levels under various attack scenarios, we propose an economic model that considers simultaneous attacks from multiple external agents with distinct characteristics, and derive optimal investments based on the principle of benefit maximization. The relationships among the major variables, such as systems vulnerability, security breach probability, potential loss of security breach, and security investment levels, are investigated via …
The Centrality Of Awareness In The Formation Of User Behavioral Intention Toward Preventive Technologies In The Context Of Voluntary Use, Tamara Dinev, Qing Hu
The Centrality Of Awareness In The Formation Of User Behavioral Intention Toward Preventive Technologies In The Context Of Voluntary Use, Tamara Dinev, Qing Hu
Qing Hu
Little is known about user behavior toward what we call preventive computer technologies that have become increasingly important in the networked economy and society to secure data and systems from viruses, unauthorized access, disruptions, spyware, and similar harmful technologies. We present the results of a study of user behavior toward preventive technologies based on the frameworks of theory of planned behavior in the context of anti-spyware technologies. We find that the user awareness of the issues and threats from harmful technologies is a strong predictor of user behavioral intention toward the use of preventive technologies. In the presence of awareness, …
