Purpose – Opportunities for malicious cyber activities have expanded with the globalisation and advancements in information and communication technology. Such activities will increasingly affect the security of businesses with online presence and/or connected to the internet. Although the real estate sector is a potential attack vector for and target of malicious cyber activities, it is an understudied industry. This paper aims to contribute to a better understanding of the information security threats, awareness, and risk management standards currently employed by the real estate sector in South Australia. Design/methodology/approach – The current study comprises both quantitative and qualitative methodologies, which include 20 survey questionnaires and 20 face-to-face interviews conducted in South Australia. Findings – There is a lack of understanding about the true magnitude of malicious cyber activities and its impact on the real estate sector, as illustrated in the findings of 40 real estate organisations in South Australia. The findings and the escalating complexities of the online environment underscore the need for regular ongoing training programs for basic online security (including new cybercrime trends) and the promotion of a culture of information security (e.g. when using smart mobile devices to store and access sensitive data) among staff. Such initiatives will enable staff employed in the (South Australian) real estate sector to maintain the current knowledge of the latest cybercrime activities and the best cyber security protection measures available. Originality/value – This is the first academic study focusing on the real estate organisations in South Australia. The findings will contribute to the evidence on the information security threats faced by the sector as well as in develop sector-specific information security risk management guidelines.

The tremendous growth of computational clouds has attracted and enabled intensive computation on resource-constrained client devices. Predominantly, smart mobiles are enabled to deploy data and computational intensive applications by leveraging on the demand service model of remote data centres. However, outsourcing personal and confidential data to the remote data servers is challenging for the reason of new issues involved in data privacy and security. Therefore, the traditional advanced encryption standard (AES) algorithm needs to be enhanced in order to cope with the emerging security threats in the cloud environment. This research presents a framework with key features including enhanced security and owner’s data privacy. It modifies the 128 AES algorithm to increase the speed of the encryption process, 1000 blocks per second, by the double round key feature. However, traditionally, there is a single round key with 800 blocks per second. The proposed algorithm involves less power consumption, better load balancing, and enhanced trust and resource management on the network. The proposed framework includes deployment of AES with 16, 32, 64, and 128 plain text bytes. Simulation results are visualized in a way that depicts suitability of the algorithm while achieving particular quality attributes. Results show that the proposed framework minimizes energy consumption by 14.43%, network usage by 11.53%, and delay by 15.67%. Hence, the proposed framework enhances security, minimizes resource utilization, and reduces delay while deploying services of computational clouds.

To combat potential security threats, organizations rely upon information security policies to guide employee actions. Unfortunately, employee violations of such policies are common and costly enough that users are often considered the weakest link in information security. This paper presents a composite theoretical framework for understanding employee behavioral compliance with organizational information security policies. Building off of the theory of planned behavior, a composite model is presented that incorporates the strengths of previous studies while minimizing theoretical gaps present in other behavioral compliance models. In building the framework, related operational constructs are examined and normalized to allow better comparison of past studies and help focus future research efforts.

When it comes to preventing unauthorised access to, destruction of, or inspection of confidential data, information security has always been a major factor. Multimedia information is now used in every field throughout the world. The confidential information that is used in these areas must be kept secure. There are a variety of methods for keeping data secure. One of these is steganography, which is concealing information within other data into a format that the cover information remains unchanged. Cryptography, an encryption process that scrambles data into a written form that is sometimes referred to as a hash, is an auxiliary approach for securing information. Steganography and cryptography each have their own set of benefits and drawbacks. Even though both technologies give security, it is usually a good practise to combine Cryptographic algorithms to create additional layers of security. When cryptographic with steganography are combined, a multi-layer security paradigm is created. The proposed work's main goal is to add an additional layer of protection by using cryptography and steganography to encrypt and embed secret data conveyed across an insecure channel.

This article discusses the process of automating the assessment of the effectiveness of software and hardware information protection by creating an automated system. The main functions of the proposed system are: conducting an audit of information security, forming a model of information security threats, forming recommendations for creating a software and hardware system for protecting information, and creating organizational-technical documentation. The developed automated system for evaluating the effectiveness of software and hardware protection of information allows in an automated way to build a model of information security threats, to form organizational and technical documentation governing the protection of confidential information, and also to make recommendations for improving the software and hardware system for protecting information. The use of this system will significantly reduce the time and material costs of auditing information security and developing additional measures to protect information.
