Businesses are faced with a continuing battle related to cyber security related issues ranging from cyber attacks all the way to cyber (information) war. These issues affect result in information, system, reputation, and revenue related risks. These risks arise because of vulnerabilities introduced in three major parts of the enterprise – infrastructure, intelligence and practices. This report provides a rating system for representing the security health of enterprises.


Proprietary And Open Systems Adoption In E-Procurement: A Risk-Augmented Transactions Cost Perspective, Robert J. Kauffman, Hamid Mohtadi Jun 2004

Proprietary And Open Systems Adoption In E-Procurement: A Risk-Augmented Transactions Cost Perspective, Robert J. Kauffman, Hamid Mohtadi

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

We present an economic model that enables the study of incentives for business-to-business (B2B) e-procurement systems investments that permit inventory coordination and improved operational control. We focus on the information technology adoption behavior of firms in the presence of transaction costs, agency costs and information uncertainty. We conclude that it is appropriate to rethink the prior theory and develop an extended transaction-cost theory perspective that incorporates the possibility of shocks. We distinguish among three kinds of B2B e-procurement systems platforms. Proprietary platform procurement systems involve traditional electronic data interchange (EDI) technologies. Open platform procurement systems are associated with e-market Web …


A Cost-Effective Critical Path Approach For Service Priority Optimization In The Grid Computing Economy, Mei Lin, Zhangxi Lin Apr 2004

A Cost-Effective Critical Path Approach For Service Priority Optimization In The Grid Computing Economy, Mei Lin, Zhangxi Lin

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

The advancement in the utilization and technologiesof the Internet has led to the rapid growth of gridcomputing; and the perpetuating demand for gridcomputing resources calls for an incentive-compatible solution to the imminent QoS problem. This paper examines the optimal service priority selection problem that a grid computing network user will confront. We model grid services for a multi-subtask request as a prioritized PERT graph and prove that the localized conditional critical path, which is based on the cost-minimizin gpriority selection for each node, sets the lower bound for the length of cost-effective critical path that commits the optimal solution. We …


The Evolution Of Research On Information Systems: A Fiftieth Year Survey Of The Literature In Management Science, Rajiv D. Banker, Robert J. Kauffman Mar 2004

The Evolution Of Research On Information Systems: A Fiftieth Year Survey Of The Literature In Management Science, Rajiv D. Banker, Robert J. Kauffman

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

The development of the information systems (IS) literature in Management Science during the past 50 years reflects the inception, growth, and maturation of several different research streams. The five research streams we identify incorporate different definitions of the managerial problems that relate to IS, the alternate theoretical perspectives and different methodological paradigms to study them, and the levels of the organization at which their primary results impact managerial practice. The decision support and design science research stream studies the application of computers in decision support, control, and managerial decision making. The value of information research stream reflects relationships established based …
