Information security policies’ compliance: a perspective for higher education institutions

Abstract

The aim of this investigation was to determine the reliability of normalizing rapid force (RF) production to peak force assessed during an isometric knee flexor assessment, and to present a novel method of classifying athletes' potential training needs within the 90À90 isometric hamstring assessment. Procedures: Twenty elite female soccer players (age: 20.7 § 4.7 years; height: 168.2 § 5.5 cm; body mass: 62.8 § 7.0 kg), with no recent (>6 months) history of hamstring strain injury, volunteered to participate in the study. Following a standardized warm-up, each participant performed three maximal isometric hamstring contractions, with their heel resting on a force plate, elevated on a box, to ensure that their hips and knees were at 90°Data was analyzed to determine peak for (PF), RF was established as force expressed at 100 ms (F100) and force expressed at 200 ms (F200), with force at each time-point subsequently normalized to a percentage of PF. Findings: F100 and F200 normalized to PF demonstrated good absolute reliability (%CV = 6.12À7.62) and moderate relative reliability (ICC = 0.689À0.703). Concurrently observing PF and normalized F100 and F200 could provide clear training and monitoring goals. Conclusions: Normalizing measures of RF production, including F100 and F200, to PF can be performed reliability. Therefore, could be tracked overtime to identify changes as an effect of training or for fatigue monitoring purposes. However, further research is required to determine how knee flexor force-time characteristics change in relation to focused training and how these characteristics change in response to fatiguing activities.

Information Security Behavior and Information Security Policy Compliance: A Systematic Literature Review for Identifying the Transformation Process from Noncompliance to Compliance

“…Multiple frameworks are available to assess human intentions towards information security policies, but none of the frameworks can be used as a standard behavioral process model. All the frameworks defined in the extant literature are either specific to a sector (for example, finance, higher education) [25,26] or specific to various theories [18,24,27]. None of the previous studies has made an effort to develop a consolidated information security behavior process which can exhibit the transformation process from noncompliance to compliance.…”

Cybersecurity maturity assessment framework for higher education institutions in Saudi Arabia

“…Digitizing the educational services makes the HEIs more targeted by cybersecurity attacks, like any other organization. However, HEIs lack the security awareness needed to handle these security issues ( Hina & Dominic, 2018 ). Therefore, they could use systems such as m-learning systems with security risks ( Badwelan, Drew & Bahaddad, 2016 ).…”

“…This could happen because there is neither standards nor guidelines to be applied or forced in HEIs. Moreover, most organizations do not monitor their users’ misbehavior ( Hina & Dominic, 2018 ). Since not all IT departments in higher education institutions/universities have the same experience and understanding of how important cybersecurity is, they do not treat it as a continuous process.…”

Autonomous Motivation and Information Security Policy Compliance

“…In the area of information security, personal responsibility is considered as the belief that an individual must take actions to achieve the goal of information security (LaRose et al, 2008). If individuals believe to a high extent that it is their responsibility to take control of security, this will increase the acceptable and proactive behaviors regarding information security (Anderson & Agarwal, 2010;D'Arcy & Greene, 2014;Workman et al 2008), while a lack of understanding of responsibility will result in noncompliance and breaches (Hina & Dominic, 2018). For example, Workman et al (2008) found that locus of control has a significant negative impact on subjective omissive behavior, indicating that individuals with a higher willingness to accept responsibility for information security will tend to practice information security measures.…”
