Business Security

This chapter provides an overview of digital business security. It is informed by a contemporary analysis of perceived threats through the eyes of information technology managers both from a representative public institution (a University) and from a private company (a retail sales company). A brief overview of malicious software leads into more general consideration of the risks and threats of security breaches, which are analysed from both a company and a customer perspective. Common to both sectors is the requirement to secure corporate records and other digital information and management and policy guidance is provided here. Cybercrime remains rife, but is both under-reported and under-prosecuted. As managers may become involved in legal issues associated with information technology security breaches, this chapter also overviews the special nature of digital evidence.

Background: To date, many efforts have been made to classify information security threats, especially in the healthcare area. However, there are still many unknown risks which may threat the security of health information and their resources especially in the hospitals. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the risks threatening information security in the hospitals located in one of the northwest cities of Iran. Method: This study was completed in 2014. The participants were information technology managers who worked in the hospitals (n=27). The research instrument was a questionnaire composed of a number of open and closed questions. The content validity of the questionnaire was confirmed, and the reliability of the closed questions was measured by using the test-retest method (r =0.78). Results: The results showed that among the information security risks, fire found to be a high probability/high impact risk factor. Human and physical/environmental threats were among the low probability risk factors. Regarding the information security safeguards used in the hospitals, the results showed that the use of the technical safeguards was the most frequent one (n =22, 91.7%) compared to the administrative (n =21, 87.5%) and the physical safeguards (n =16, 66.7%). Conclusion: The high probability risk factors require quick corrective actions to be taken. Therefore, the underlying causes of such threats should be identified and controlled before experiencing adverse effects. It is also important to note that information security in health care systems needs to be considered at a macro level with respect to the national interests and policies.

ResumoNeste estudo objetivou-se analisar a aprendizagem empreendedora dos gestores de Tecnologia da Informação (TI) da região metropolitana de Fortaleza, CE. Foi adotado o modelo de Politis (2005). Usou-se o método qualitativo de natureza descritiva. Para a sua execução, foi realizada entrevista com 10 gestores de TI, com apoio de um questionário semiestruturado. Para tratamento dos dados, utilizou-se o método de Análise de Conteúdo de natureza temática. Os resultados da pesquisa mostraram que a aprendizagem empreendedora tem papel de meio, contínuo e experiencial na formação em negócios do gestor de TI, isso porque as experiências prévias em negócios foram sendo aprimoradas no modo contínuo de novas experiências empresariais, nos seus primeiros empreendimentos, trabalhando nestes e, em seguida, nos de terceiros. Os dois modos de transformação de experiências de carreira empreendedora, tanto o exploitation (conhecimentos preexistentes) quanto o exploration (novas possibilidades) influenciam e aprimoram o desenvolvimento dos conhecimentos em negócios do gestor de TI.Palavras-chave: Aprendizagem empreendedora.
