Current developments in the field of integrated treatment show the need for IS security approaches within the healthcare domain. Health information systems are called to meet unique demands to remain operational in the face of natural disasters, system failures and denial-of-service attacks. At the same time, the data contained in health information systems are strictly confidential and, due to the ethical, judicial and social implications in case of data loss, health related data require extremely sensitive handling. The purpose of this chapter is to provide an overview of information security management standards in the context of health care information systems and focus on the most widely accepted ISO/IEC 27000 family of standards for information security management. In the end of the chapter, a guide to develop a complete and robust information security management system for a health care organization will be provided, by mentioning special implications that are met in a health care organization, as well as special considerations related to health related web applications. This guide will be based on special requirements of ISO/IEC 27799:2008 (Health informatics — Information security management in health using ISO/IEC 27002).

Handling information security management is an absolute thing to do for organizations that have information systems to support the organization's operations. Information systems consisting of assets both software and hardware that manage data and information that are spread over networks and the internet, make it vulnerable to threats. Therefore investment and costs are needed to secure it. Costs incurred for this need are not small, but investment expenditures and information security costs carried out need serious handling to be more effective and on target. The System Dynamics Model is used to evaluate alternative strategies to demonstrate the effectiveness of investment and the cost of managing information security through simulation of policy changes. System Dynamics are methods for describing models and systems analysis that are dynamic and complex, consisting of variables that influence each other in the form of causal relationships and feedback between variables that are either reinforcing or giving balance. Simulation using a dynamic system model in this study illustrates that the management of risk assessment followed by vulnerability reduction efforts has a very large impact on the management of information security. By making a difference in the value of security tools investment, this provides an alternative choice in information security risk management investments to achieve the effectiveness of the overall costs incurred in managing information security

This article examines the occurrences of four types of unethical employee information security behavior—misbehavior in networks/applications, dangerous Web use, omissive security behavior, and poor access control—and their relationships with employees’ information security management efforts to maintain sustainable information systems in the workplace. In terms of theoretical contributions, this article identifies and develops reliable and valid instruments to measure different types of unethical employee information security behavior. In addition, it investigates factors affecting different types of such behavior and how such behavior can be used to predict employees’ willingness to report information security incidents. In terms of managerial contributions, the article suggests that information security awareness programs and perceived punishment have differential effects on the four types of unethical behavior and that certain types of unethical information security behavior exert negative effects on employees’ willingness to report information security incidents. The findings will help managers to derive better security rules and policies, which are important for business continuity.

Purpose – The main aim of this study is to provide a framework for technology-based factors for knowledge management in supply chain. Design/methodology/approach – This is an applied research and has been done as a survey in Iran Khodro and Saipa Company as the largest companies in automotive industry of Iran. In this study, 206 experts participated. Reliability methods were Cronbach’s alfa, and validity tests were content and construction analyses. In response to one main question and three sub-questions in this research, first and second confirmative factor analysis were used. Findings – In this research, after a literature review, a comprehensive framework with three factors is presented. These factors are information technology (IT) tools, information systems integration and information security management. The findings indicate that the first framework in supply chain of the automotive industry has a good fitness and perfect validity. Second, in this framework, factors have also been considered based on importance. The technique of factor analysis was given the highest importance to the information systems integration. Then, IT tools and, ultimately, information security management are considered. In addition, findings indicate that information systems integration has the highest correlation with IT tools. Originality/value – The main innovation aspect of the research is to present a comprehensive framework for technology-based factors and indices for knowledge management in supply chain. In this paper, in addition to presenting a grouping for IT tools for knowledge management processes in supply chain, key indices for information systems integration and information security management are also referred.
