Cyber Crime in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia: The Threat Today and the Expected Future

The world we are in today is all about Information Technology (IT) because we are in the age of  Information Technology and  the people with the right information, with proper way of disseminate this information and processing them is considered as the most successful. Computers have become the mainstay of business and government processes. Business has been using them for years and in  most  countries, there are drives towards electronic or joined up government. This is to allow the people to access government services from their desktop in their own home . A rapid growth of computer crimes and formation of laws in different countries addresses the severity of problem. This paper discusses the stand of Saudi Arabian government against cyber crime and its IT act. It analyzes the  cybercrime in the Kingdom  and the anti-cyber crime law. Keywords: Cyber Crime, Anti-Cyber crime law, Cyber Terroris

THE IMPACT OF INFORMATION SECURITY MANAGEMENT FOR E- BANKS PERFORMANCE IN KINGDOM OF SUDI ARABIA

Information security is a great concern to computer users, which is not only a technical problem, but also related to human factors. One of the main issues in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia related to Internet banking is the weak security in Internet banking application. Therefore this study will investigate further the solution to enhance the security issues in Internet banking implementation. In today's high speed world, millions of transactions occur every minute. For these transactions, data need to be readily available for the genuine people who want to have access, and it must be kept securely from imposters. Information security is measured by the degree of the application of ISO 27001 and PCI-DSS standards on Saudian Banks, while banks' performance is measured by indicators of profitability and asset quality. This paper aims to comprehensively identify and assess the information security management for e-banks in Saudi Arabia with an attempt to fill the gap in the literature

Adsorptive Removal of Boron by DIAION™ CRB05: Characterization, Kinetics, Isotherm, and Optimization by Response Surface Methodology

A significant issue for the ecosystem is the presence of boron in water resources, particularly in produced water. Batch and dynamic experiments were used in this research to extract boron in the form of boric acid from aqueous solutions using boron selective resins, DIAION CRB05. DIAION™ CRB05 is an adsorbent that is effective in extracting boron from aqueous solutions due to its high binding capacity and selectivity for boron ions, and it is also regenerable, making it cost-effective and sustainable. Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and FTIR analysis for DIAION CRB05 characterization. To increase the adsorption capacity and find the ideal values for predictor variables such as pH, adsorbent dose, time, and boric acid concentration, the Box–Behnken response surface method (RSM) was applied. The dosage was reported to be 2000 mg/L at pH 2 and boron initial concentration of 1115 mg/L with 255 min for the highest removal anticipated from RSM. According to the outcomes of this research, the DIAION CRB05 material enhanced boron removal capability and has superior performance to several currently available adsorbents, which makes it suitable for use as an adsorbent for removing boric acid from aqueous solutions. The outcomes of isotherm and kinetic experiments were fitted using linear methods. The Temkin isotherm and the pseudo-first-order model were found to have good fits after comparison with R2 of 0.998, and 0.997, respectively. The results of the study demonstrate the effectiveness of DIAION™ CRB05 in removing boron from aqueous solutions and provide insight into the optimal conditions for the adsorption process. Thus, the DIAION CRB05 resin was chosen as the ideal choice for recovering boron from an aqueous solution because of its higher sorption capacity and percentage of boron absorbed
