Evaluating factors contributing to the failure of information system in the banking industry

Abstract

The increasing use of Information Technology (IT) has led to many security and other related failures in the banks and other financial institutions in Bangladesh. In this paper, we investigated the factors contributing to the failurein the IT system of the banking industry in Bangladesh. Based on the experts’ opinions and weight on the specified evaluating criteria, an empirical test was conducted using a rough set theory to produce a framework for the IT system failure factors. In this study, an extended approach involving the integration of rough set theory based flexible Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) and the Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) has beenapplied to help the managers of the corresponding field to identify the factors responsible for the failure of the IT system in the banking industries and then prioritize them accordingly, for the ease of decision-making.In this research, eleven such failure factors were identified, which were then quantitatively analyzed to facilitate managers in crucial decision-making. It was observed that cyber-attack, database hack risks, server failure, network interruption, broadcast data error, and virus effect were the most significant factors for the failure of the IT system. The framework developed in this research can be utilized to assist in efficient decision-makingin other serviceindustries where IT systems play a key role. To the best of the knowledge, this is the first study thatempirically tested key failure factors of the IT system for the banking sector using an integrated method.

Information Security Protection of Internet of Energy Using Ensemble Public Key Algorithm under Big Data

“…Ali et al proposed the attribute-based CPK cryptosystem and gave the security model. Additionally, they also gave the construction method of using a key pair to realize the three cryptosystems of encryption, decryption, and signature by using the attribute-based CPK cryptosystem [19].…”

Case Study Analysis of the Use of Cloud Computing for Assessing Big Data Risks

“…The data analysis reveals that risk plans cover data encryption in Canada to prevent data loss and educate employees about cyber security. Concerning the same, Ali et al [37] are suggestive of the implementation of the Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) and Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) to counter the problems of database hack risks, broadcast data errors, cyber-attack, network interruptions, server failures, and virus effects. In the UK, the risk plan covers secure transmission channels, security and awareness training, data encryption in transit, Transport Layer Security, prevention of data leaks, and tracking suspicious activity.…”

The adoption of shareholder activism by minority investors in Mauritius and a comparative analysis with the UK laws

“…To support this assertion, the Report on Corporate Governance for Mauritius (2004) provides real confirmation to the effect that few minority shareholders typically attend general meetings, which serve as a platform for them to take binding and enforceable actions. However, several studies have emphasised on the importance of minority shareholder activism to bring positive outcome to a firm’s financial performance (Ali et al , 2022; El-Chaarani et al , 2022). More specifically, Sharma and Sachdeva (2022) are of the opinion that the low involvement level of minority shareholders to monitor the activities of a company is behind the main reasons for scams, financial fraud and governance issues.…”
