“…The insider threat is not only costly but was hard to detect especially when the person is already part of the organization [37]. Now, at any given time, an organization needs to focus on two fronts to mitigate unknown attacks.…”

Cybersecurity has become a very hot topic due to high profile breaches that occurred in the past years. Despite the implementation of current known pre-emptive methods such as intrusion detection systems, anti-viruses, and the use of firewalls, hackers still find sophisticated means to steal data or impair an organization by targeting their assets. It is important that security professionals need to "think outside the box" and use new tools and techniques to mitigate threats beyond current known detections and prevention technologies. It is imperative that our infrastructure and assets are impermeable from domestic and foreign attackers. Our best line of defense is the detection of any threats or vulnerability to prevent or minimize damages of our assets from domestic and foreign attackers.

“…health risks [32] and environmental risks [24]. It has been used online to examine insider threats [21] as well as security risks [25]. The nine dimensions consist of voluntary, immediacy, knowledge to exposed, knowledge to expert, control, newness, common-dread, chronic-catastrophic, and severity.…”

Abstract. There are significant differences between older and younger adults in terms of risk perception and risk behaviors offline. The previously unexplored existence of this dissimilitude online is the motivation for our work. What are the risk perceptions of older adults? How are these correlated with the classic dimensions of risk perception offline? Can we leverage episodic memory, particularly relevant for older adults, to increase the efficacy of risk communication? We conduct a survey based experiment with two groups: video (n=136) and text (113). We find that leveraging episodic memory using video risk communication can improve the ability of elders to avoid phishing attacks and downloading malware. The applicability of the dimensions of risk were different based not only the risk but also the mode of risk communication.

“…Furthermore, Farahmand and Spafford (2013) claim that understanding insiders-users, human dimensions and economic dimension-is significant for developing new technologies and IS. Any newly designed artifact and IS is always reshaped by the insiders' behavior to achieve their intended purpose (Farahmand and Spafford 2013).…”

Information Systems (IS) has developed through adapting, generating and applying diverse methodologies, methods, and techniques from reference disciplines. Further, Action Design Research (ADR) has recently developed as a broad research method that focuses on designing and redesigning IT and IS in organizational contexts. This paper reflects on applying ADR in a complex organizational context in a developing country. It shows that ADR requires additional lens for designing IS in such a complex organizational context. Through conducting ADR, it is seen that an ethnographic framework has potential complementarities for understanding complex contexts thereby enhancing the ADR processes. This paper argues that conducting ADR with an ethnographic approach enhances design of IS and organizational contexts. Finally, this paper aims presents a broader methodological framework, Action Design Ethnographic Research (ADER), for designing artefacts as well as IS. This is illustrated through the case of a land records updating service in Bangladesh.
