Information technology is perceived as an important enabler for government entities to accomplish their goals. The proliferation of electronic government services that can provide value for citizens and residents have pushed governments all over the world to adopt and deploy these services. However, governments have realized that it is critical to build proper defense to protect the information. Implementing information security by using international or national information security frameworks helps organizations to ensure the safeguard of information assets. This chapter reviews useful information security frameworks. Also, this chapter provides a proposed information security framework implemented in the Government of Bahrain, which is called CyberTrust Program. This framework was developed based on best practices and local resources and culture.

Operational Aspects

The development of the world web increases the online users and consequently forces many governments around the world to take advantage of the facilities offered by the internet. One of these facilities is the E-Government. Electronic government or E-government represents a major change in the culture and the practices of government works. It is considered as a source of services for companies and citizens. In order to make e-government effective, it is necessary to make some changes in the governmental operational aspects along with constructing potential technology. The e-government includes multiple types of technology. Thus, governments should exploit the benefits by investing heavily and setting deadlines on e-government projects. The aims of this paper are to examine the peoples satisfaction of the e-government services and measure the degree of public confidence in the services provided by the government. The study has shown that there is a satisfaction in general about the services provided by the government and the confidence in the service provided was to the expected limit for the reasons that we will see below.

The Impact

Information security is a need to secure organizational information assets. The government as the regulator issues an Information Security Management System (ISMS) and Information Security Index (US) as a measure of information security in the agency of a region. Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) is a security technology to secure information assets. SIEM is expected to provide information on attacks that occur on the router network and increase the value of the Indeks KAMI of government agencies. However, the use of SIEM is still questionable whether it can recognize a router attack and its impact on the value of our index. This research simulates attacks on routers with 8 attacks namely Mac Flooding, ARP-Poisoning, CDP Flooding, DHCP Starvation, DHCP Rogue, SYN Flooding SSH Bruteforce and FTP Bruteforce. 8 types of attacks followed by digital forensic analysis using the OSCAR method to see the impact on routers and SIEM. Also measured is index KAMI before and after the SIEM to be able to measure the effect of SIEM installation on the value of index KAMI. It was found that the use of SIEM to conduct security monitoring proved successful in identifying attacks, but not all were recognized by SIEM. SIEM only recognizes DHCP Starvation, DHCP Rogue, SSH Bruteforce and FTP Bruteforce. Mac Flooding, ARP-Poisoning, CDP Flooding, SYN Flooding attacks are not recognized by SIEM because routers do not produce logs. Also obtained is the use of SIEM proven to increase our index from the aspect of technology

The Impact

Transformation of digitalization in large industries has an impact on the automation of production equipment, including the replacement of production machines from conventional machines (manual) to digital machines. Meanwhile, automation of production equipment requires workers with higher skills, in fact the existing workforce does not have expertise in carrying out all-digital equipment. The impact is a reduction in labor (layoffs). Machine replacement is done in stages so that the reduction of workforce (PHK) in bulk is not visible. However, the inconsistency between the preparation in the world of education and the needs in the world of work continues to occur today. Until now, vocational development based on local resources has not been operating optimally and needs serious attention from the local government. The government on various occasions mentioned four leading sectors that will be strengthened in the development of vocational institutions, namely maritime, tourism, agriculture (food security), and the creative industry. In addition, the government is also developing a policy scheme for Skill Development Funds (SDF), which is a skills improvement program for workers affected by automation (PHK), including through Vocational Training Center (BLK).

The Impact

Technological progress in ICT has created conditions for a new government paradigm - from a government that leads to a government providing services to society. Technology changes the nature of the connection between government and citizens: governance becomes more participatory and citizens' interests prevail. The impact of e-Government solutions is complex, on multiple levels, depending on the maturity of the models applied and the capacity of citizens and business to assimilate e-Government services. In a short time, electronic government services in Moldova have evolved from simple information services to integrated transactional services. On the one hand, this is due to high performance telecommunications infrastructure (broadband, 2G, 3G and 4G technology) and, on the other hand, to citizens' expectations that boosted recently and determined the government to accelerate the implementation of new e-services, increasingly complex and a better quality. The paper addresses the issue of e-Government services in terms of the value that it gives to the government and to citizens' lives and analyzes opportunities to develop e-Government services in the new technological and social realities.

Purpose This study aims to consider the capabilities of information technology as a basing dimension in the success of systems that provide electronic services as an e-government system. This study will focus on the role of IT capabilities in e-government system success by proposing a model based on the integration of the updated DeLone and McLean model is (D&M) with the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology is (UTAUT) model, which includes seven variables, namely, IT capabilities, information quality, system quality, performance expectancy, effort expectancy, perceived support quality and e-government system usage. Design/methodology/approach A conceptual framework was built across a review of the literature and the results of studies of IT capability and e-government systems success has developed the study model. As the causal approach was adopted to test the model of the proposed study. Survey data collected from 765 respondents who use the e-government system in Iraq. Also, a regression approach has been used to test the study model. Findings The results revealed that IT capabilities and the factors included in the “the updated (D&M) and (UTAUT) model” as important forecasts in the success of e-government systems. In another word, the proposed model provides managers with a new perspective to deal with the adoption of the e-government system by introducing a new variable “IT capabilities,” to provide decision-makers with a new approach in determining factors of e-government success. Research limitations/implications The government must develop their policies in line with e-government services to maximize the benefits accrued from e-government services. Where the main determinants in this study were the age group of the sample and the Arab environment for this study. Originality/value This study is the first in Iraq as a developing country and one of the few in e-government that considers IT capabilities as a basing dimension in e-government success by proposing a comprehensive model that sums the factors related to such a relationship. Its value stems from its sample of public users and the support of its proposed framework.

The benefits of e-government services depend on the number of citizens who take advantage of them. The purpose of this quantitative, correlational research study was to determine barriers to e-government use as perceived by citizens at the municipal level in Mexico. The technology acceptance model (TAM), the diffusion of innovations (DOI) theory, and models of web trust formed the theoretical framework of the study. Several hypotheses tested the relation of demographic variables, TAM, DOI, and web trust constructs to the intention of using e-government services of 149 taxpayers of the city of Chihuahua, Mexico, who did not to use the e-government services for payment provided by the government of their municipality. The findings of this study show that trust in the Internet, trust in government, perceptions of convenience, perceptions of compatibility, access to the Internet, perceptions of ease of use, and perceptions of relative advantages are related to the intention to use e-government services. Conversely, awareness of the existence of e-government services, income level, family structure, age, literacy level, computer literacy level, gender, and possession of bankcards are not individually related to the intention to use e-government services of those persons who made face-to-face payments at the treasury office.

The Relationship

The “electronic government” movement has swept across most countries in the last decade. This movement represents a new paradigm for public services. As we know, traditional public services may be improved in many ways by the Internet. According to the literature reviewed, we found many studies were only focused on how to technically establish Web sites that allow citizens appropriate access to government information. However, few studies paid attention to the relationship management among the different e-government stakeholders. Therefore, the objective of this chapter is to integrate the relationship management among the three groups of stakeholders: the government itself, its citizens and employees. In this chapter, we will examine the literature regarding to the underlying rationale of a successful e-government. Also, an evaluation system for the usability of government Web sites that support relationship management among citizens, government employees and public services are developed and empirically tested.

Nowadays, initiatives are taken and investments are made in supporting e-government across the world. These initiatives should achieve success to fulfill the outcomes that are desired. Efforts are made in capitalizing the technologies that will help the government to provide services to their citizens. The main objective of the paper is to explore the readiness of federal authority employees and their current skills, adoption, and knowledge about e-government. It is also investigates the new technologies and e-technologies in GCC and UAE. Therefore, it discusses and highlights this objective of using e-government by employees under several headings which include the growth of e-government in UAE and advantages of e-government in the society. This paper will also outline the need of e-government by the employees and citizens and how to make them better trust e-government. The researcher distributed 500 surveys and received 407 from most of the federal authorities in the UAE. The research concluded that the employees agree with benefits of e-government, do care about customers, and, together with high cooperation from the private sector, are prepared for adopting e-government. It was also found that the more challenging the e-government's cost and IT skill, the higher the challenges the organization will face in adopting e-government. At the present, one of the biggest challenges is designing solutions for e-government and evaluating initiatives conducted by the government.

As the world becomes mobile, the ability to access information on demand will give individuals a competitive advantage and make them more productive on the job and in their daily lives (Satyanarayanan, 1996). In the past, government information was presented by government employees who verbally communicated with citizens in order to meet their information needs. As print technology improved, government information was, and still is in many countries, communicated to citizens using paper as the medium of delivery. Because of the cost of printing and mailing printed documents and the difficulty of updating information in a timely manner, governments are moving to electronic delivery of information using the Web. Currently, governments provide digital service to their citizens using the Web for access by desktop or notebook computers; however, citizens of many countries are using mobile devices such as cell phones, tablet PCs, personal digital assistants, Web pads, and palmtop computers to access information from a variety of sources in order to conduct their everyday business and to communicate with each other. Also, wearable mobile devices are being used by some workers for remote computing and information access in order to allow multitasking on the job. It is predicted that there will be more mobile devices than desktop computers in the world in the near future (Schneiderman, 2002). The creation of digital government will allow the delivery of government information and services online through the Internet or other digital means using computing and mobile devices (LaVigne, 2002). Also, there will be more government-to-citizen and government-to-business interactions. Digital government will allow citizens, businesses, and the government to use electronic devices in order to communicate, to disseminate and gather information, to facilitate payments, and to carry out permitting in an online environment (Wyld, 2004). Digital government will allow citizens to access information anytime and anywhere using mobile and computing devices (Seifert & Relyea, 2004).
