“…Translating research findings and recommendations of any nature into practice remains an elusive process (Kent, 2019;Grimshaw et al, 2012;Kitson et al, 1998). Some of the reasons why this general disconnect exists between most types of research and the related acceptance thereof in practice include: ambiguity in existing research (Kent, 2019;Tsohou et al, 2008); limited published reflection on implementation (Tsohou et al, 2008); ongoing research is often still inconclusive (Kitson et al, 1998); decision-makers lack the required information (Haines and Donald, 1998); and attitudes and beliefs of individuals (Kent, 2019;Bakry, 2003) which translates to social and cultural resistance to the change associated with implementation.…”

Purpose This paper aims to present the development of a framework for evaluating group behaviour in information security in practice. Design/methodology/approach Information security behavioural threshold analysis is used as the theoretical foundation for the proposed framework. The suitability of the proposed framework is evaluated based on two sets of qualitative measures (general frameworks and information security frameworks) which were identified from literature. The successful evaluation of the proposed framework, guided by the identified evaluation measures, is presented in terms of positive practical applications, as well as positive peer review and publication of the underlying theory. Findings A methodology to formalise a framework to analyse group behaviour in information security can successfully be applied in a practical environment. This application takes the framework from only a theoretical conceptualisation to an implementable solution to evaluate and positively influence information security group behaviour. Practical implications Behavioural threshold analysis is identified as a practical mechanism to evaluate information security group behaviour. The suggested framework, as implemented in a management decision support system (DSS), allows practitioners to assess the security behaviour and awareness in their organisation. The resulting information can be used to exert an influence for positive change in the information security of the organisation. Originality/value A novel conceptual mapping of two sets of qualitative evaluation measures is presented and used to evaluate the proposed framework. The resulting framework is made practical through its encapsulation in a DSS.

Summary Trust is an important component of wireless sensor networks for believability of the produced data, and trust history is a crucial asset in deciding trust of the data. In this paper, we show how provenance can be used for registering previous trust records and other information such as node type, data type, and node location. Our aim is to design a distributed trust‐enhancing architecture using only local provenance during sensor fusion with a low communication overhead. Our network is cognitive in the sense that our system reacts automatically upon detecting low trust. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Using ISO 17799: 2005 information security management: a STOPE view with six sigma approach

This paper is concerned with supporting the use of ISO 17799: 2005 information security management standard for the purpose of providing a 'common safe environment' for information services. The paper introduces a STOPE view of the standard, integrating its parts and protection measures around the basic domains of 'strategy, technology, organization, people, and environment'. The paper also presents an approach for the application of the standard, considering the STOPE view, in a way that emphasizes continuous improvement. The phases of the approach are based on the phases of six sigma DMAIC approach of 'define, measure, analyze, improve, and control'; the team proposed for the implementation of the work is also based on six sigma principles. The paper concludes with some suggestions for future related and needed work.
