As the nation confronts a growing tide of security breaches, the importance of having quality data breach information systems becomes paramount. Yet too little attention is paid to evaluating these systems. This article draws on data quality scholarship to develop a yardstick that assesses the quality of data breach notification systems in the U.S. at both the state and national levels from the...

Introduction A decade has passed since the enactment of data breach notification laws (DBNLs) in numerous U.S. states. These laws mandate companies that have suffered a data breach to inform the customers whose data might have been exposed. The intent of DBNLs can perhaps be best summed up in the phrase: “sunlight is the best disinfectant”. Whether the goal of incentivizing better security prac...

This study explored the relationship between psychological contract breach and ethical decisionmaking intention. Previous studies analyzed the relation mainly from the Western cultural perspective, thus leaving the Eastern context. In this regard, the present study examined the cross-level moderating effect of ethical climate on variables at the individual level. Forty state-owned and private c...

IT managers often struggle to justify investments in information security. In addition to standard quantitative analyses such as Return on Security Investment (ROSI), executive management may also want to know what the effect of potential security breaches would be on the market value of a publicly-traded firm. This study attempts to shed light on the issue by examining the impact of informatio...

Determining the required number of sensors to be deployed is a critical decision for surveillance wireless sensor networks. In this paper, we discuss the trade-off between the number of sensors and the breach detection probability considering the effects of sensor parameters. We present the weakest breach path problem formulation and provide a solution by utilizing the Dijkstra’s shortest path ...
