To understand the differences between terms like cyber security and information security is important because many banking regulatory bodies like Reserve bank of India, Hong Kong Monetary Authority, Monetary Authority of Singapore, etc. have asked banks to have separate cyber security AIS security policies. These two words “Cyber Security” and “Information Security” are generally used as synonyms in security terminology, and create a lot of confusion among security professionals. We are discussing with some InfoSec professionals about the same and found out that some of them think that cyber security is subset of information security while others think the opposite. So, to clear this confusion, we decided to research on the same and write a blog.

The field of cyber security is evolving at an alert pace and requires constantly updated strategies, and from the IT specialists, extensive knowledge and experience. In addition to the technical knowledge regarding cyber security, IT specialists of the Romanian Police need to understand very well the nature of the activity carried out. It should be made aware that there is no valid general success recipe and that the development of security policies should start from analyzing the particularities of human resources. Once their activity is understood, a dedicated security strategy can be outlined, ensuring a high degree of security for the organization and the information held by it.

Organizational Information

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.

The Impact

Growing concern about healthcare information security in the wake of alarmingly rising cyber-attacks is being given symmetrical priority by current researchers and cyber security experts. Intruders are penetrating symmetrical mechanisms of healthcare information security continuously. In the same league, the paper presents an overview on the current situation of healthcare information and presents a layered model of healthcare information management in organizations. The paper also evaluates the various factors that have a key contribution in healthcare information security breaches through a hybrid fuzzy-based symmetrical methodology of AHP-TOPSIS. Furthermore, for assessing the effect of the calculated results, the authors have tested the results on local hospital software of Varanasi. Tested results of the factors are validated through the comparison and sensitivity analysis in this study. Tabulated results of the proposed study propose a symmetrical mechanism as the most conversant technique which can be employed by the experts and researchers for preparing security guidelines and strategies.
