“…A strong information security culture can contribute to mitigating vulnerabilities stemming from individuals' behaviour [24]. Infrequent back-up of information, using email accounts to send sensitive and confidential information, carrying unencrypted sensitive and confidential information on external hard disk or other movable devices, unlawful use of information, and unauthorised transfer of information are problems that can be solved by replacing proper information security culture [25]. Information security culture covers the entire information life cycle -collection, storage, use, and transfer.…”

Information security is an important issue in supply chain. Information security breaches have serious consequences for companies, such as loss of revenue, reputation, customers, business advantages, and, in the worst-case scenario, bankruptcy. On the other hand, collaboration and integration between different parties is necessary to increase productivity in the supply chain. However, increasing the flow of information increases the risk of information leakage. To mitigate the risk of information security breach in the supply chain we need to have a comprehensive view about information security. This research aims to investigate different dimensions of information security in the supply chain. A review of literature revealed that technological, managerial, organizational, psychological, educational and awareness aspects of information security play important roles in the security of information in supply chain.

There is a need for leaders to realize that information is a strategic resource and to be informed, motivated, and engaged with regard to Information Security [11].…”

AbstractÑ The incorporation of ICT in public sector organisations is progressing rapidly in Oman where the government sees this as a means to enhance the delivery of online services. In this context, preserving the security of information, and making Information Security a core organisational aspect in public sector organisations, requires attention from management. Our research is the first known attempt to gauge management attitudes toward Information Security in Oman. We also consider how such attitudes influence Information Security governance. In addressing these issues, we review current compliance with Information Security procedures in Omani public sector organisations; review management attitudes toward Information Security governance practices; and explore how management attitudes toward Information Security impact upon these aspects.
