The Trajectory of IT in Healthcare at HICSS: A Literature Review, Analysis, and Future Directions

Research has extensively demonstrated that healthcare industry has rapidly implemented and adopted information technology in recent years. Research in health information technology (HIT), which represents a major component of the Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences, demonstrates similar findings. In this paper, review the literature to better understand the work on HIT that researchers have conducted in HICSS from 2008 to 2017. In doing so, we identify themes, methods, technology types, research populations, context, and emerged research gaps from the reviewed literature. With much change and development in the HIT field and varying levels of adoption, this review uncovers, catalogs, and analyzes the research in HIT at HICSS in this ten-year period and provides future directions for research in the field

The interaction of dark traits with the perceptions of apprehension

This paper integrates dark personality traits with the economics of crime and rational choice theories to identify the role that the Dark Triad and thrill-seeking have on the perceptions of being caught engaging in violating privacy laws. Psychopathy and thrill-seeking had a moderate negative effect on the perceptions of the probability of being apprehended for distributing illegally obtained healthcare information. The implication is that individuals scoring high on the psychopathy and thrill-seeking scales will need less money or monetary incentives to violate HIPAA laws. We also found additional support that white hat hackers score high on the Machiavellian, psychopathy and thrill-seeking scales. We also validated a previous finding that a white hat hacker might drift towards grey hat and black hat hacking

A systematic literature review of cyberwarfare and state-sponsored hacking teams

It is expected that the creation of next-generation wireless networks would result in the availability of high-speed and low-latency connectivity for every part of our life. As a result, it is important that the network is secure. The network's security environment has grown more complicated as a result of the growing number of devices and the diversity of services that 5G will provide. This is why it is important that the development of effective security solutions is carried out early. Our findings of this review have revealed the various directions that will be pursued in the development of next-generation wireless networks. Some of these include the use of Artificial Intelligence and Software Defined Mobile Networks. The threat environment for 5G networks, security weaknesses in the new technology paradigms that 5G will embrace, and provided solutions presented in the key studies in the field of 5G cyber security are all described in this systematic literature review for prospective researchers. Future research directions to protect wireless networks beyond 5G are also covered.Comment: 3 figure

Digital Security Governance: What Can We Learn from High Reliability Organizations (HROs)?

With the growing digitalization of businesses, digital security governance (DSG) is becoming central to organizational survival strategies. However, many organizations fail to establish successful DSG practices and, consequently, fail to understand how DSG can lower the severity of cybersecurity failures. This paper aims to contribute to filling this gap. By putting the five principles of the High Reliability Organization (HRO) central to the design of our qualitative investigation, we engage in interviewing forty-two chief information security officers (CISOs) and chief information officers (CIOs) of large organizations in the Netherlands about their views on why organizations fail to successfully achieve DSG. Our data show that HRO principles are partly relevant but lacking in DSG approaches, which potentially increases security failure. We conclude this paper by discussing these findings in light of future research and practice

From Hype to Reality: A Taxonomy of Blockchain Applications

Blockchain is a decentralized digital ledger that challenges existing business models and theories by shifting the trust from institutions towards algorithms. However, the number of successfully developed blockchain-based systems remains low. This points towards a research gap between blockchain applications and technical blockchain characteristics. We answer the research question: What application areas fit blockchains with what technical characteristics? We develop a taxonomy, which comprises six blockchain application areas that are classified across eight technical dimensions. We demonstrate the utility of the taxonomy on ninety-nine blockchain-based systems. We contribute to the scientific literature by delimiting blockchain application areas, identifying new technical dimensions, and linking application and technical knowledge on blockchain to guide development of blockchain-based systems. For practitioners, we present an overview of current blockchain-based systems

Engage, Enrich, Enlighten, Energize: Explorations in Instructional Humor

This chapter describes the use of classroom humor in the teaching of a government information course, employing the four Es (engage, enrich, enlighten, energize) to educate and empower library & information science students in a proactive approach to government information in order to help their communities both understand and make better use of these critical information resources, which are intended to facilitate the government "of the people, by the people, and for the people."YesAll book chapters underwent editorial board revie
