Information systems security practices in social software applications

Abstract

Purpose-The paper aims to investigate the current Information Systems Security (ISS) practices of the Social Software Application (SSA) users via the Internet. Design/methodology/approach-The paper opted for a systematic literature review (SLR) survey on ISS and its practices in SSAs between 2010 and 2015. The studiy includes a set of 39 papers from among 1,990 retrieved papers published in thirty-three high impact journals. The selected papers were filtered using the Publish or Perish (PoP) software by Harzing and Journal Citation Index (JCR) with an inclusion criterion of least 1 citation per article. Findings-The practice of ISS is driven by the need to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the data from being tampered. It is coherent with the current practice as reported by many researchers in this study. Four important factors lead to the ISS practice in SSA: protection tools offered, ownership, user behavior and security policy. Practical implications-The paper highlights the implication of successful ISS practices is having clear security purpose and security supported environment (user behavior and security protection tools) and governance (security policy and ownership) protection tools offered, ownership, user behavior and security policy towards ISS practice by the users. Originality/value-This paper fulfills an identified need to study how to enable ISS practice.

Moulding information systems components and agitations for the adoption of enterprise application architecture for supply chain management

“…The SME infrastructure also requires software to link disparate applications and enable data to flow freely amongst different parts of the business. Information systems manufacturing techniques allow the development of advanced SCM (Ellis 2017;Michael & Mike 2014;Tamrin, Norman & Hamid 2017). As a result of EAA adoption, it appears that WAA alone is not the causative factor of SCM, resulting in a monolithic three-tier model that includes microservice architecture, cloud architecture and eventdriven architecture.…”

Privacy Concerns in Online Social Networks: A Users’ Perspective

“…Authentication and access control always remained the core area of research in every computing system development [34], [35]. Involvement of the third party for certification of OSN applications is suggested in [36], [37]. The openness of OSN users and application capability for information classification is to be taken care of.…”

Internal-led cyber frauds in Indian banks: an effective machine learning–based defense system to fraud detection, prioritization and prevention

“…Banks are not well suited to conduct a hybrid assessment (experiment and data) and derive optimal conclusions. It fails to respond timely and effectively to such fraud events (Li et al, 2020;Tamrin et al, 2017).…”

“…Fraud response systems should detect cyber frauds at the earliest (Dimitrijevic et al, 2017) and dynamically manage large amounts of data (Udeh and Ugwu, 2018). It should prioritize (Roy and Prabhakaran, 2022) and prevent fraud at its earliest stage (Braithwaite, 2010;Tamrin et al, 2017). Prioritizing frauds will enable timely and cost-efficient fraud mitigation measures for high-priority frauds.…”

“…Studies on fraud mostly focus on terrestrial crime and ignore cybercrime. Cyber fraud studies (Feily et al, 2009;Tamrin et al, 2017;Swaby, 2012) observed that criminals could exploit banks and perpetuate such crimes if they are internal systems entities that act as organized and well-connected communities. Previous studies (Roy and Prabhakaran, 2022;Roy and Basu, 2021a) focused on generic mitigation solutions that were less cost-effective for stakeholders.…”
