Information and communication technology systems, such as remote health care monitoring and smart mobility applications, have become indispensable parts of our lives. Security vulnerabilities in these systems could cause financial losses, privacy/safety compromises, and operational interruptions. This paper demonstrates through examples, that technical security solutions for these information systems, alone, are not sufficient to protect individuals and their assets from attacks. It proposes to complement (usable) technical solutions with Societal Digital Security Culture (SDSC): collective knowledge, common practices, and intuitive common behavior about digital security that the members of a society share. The paper also suggests a set of approaches for improving SDSC in a society and demonstrates using a case study how the suggested approaches could be integrated to compose a plan for improving SDSC.

An intelligent security architecture for sdn-assisted iot networks Demirpolat, Ahmed; Angın, Pelin; Department of Computer Engineering (2021-1-26) The rise of the Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm in the past decade has had a significant impact on all aspects of our lives through the many use cases it has made possible, including smart farming, smart homes, and remote healthcare services, among many others. While the number of smart devices and utilization scenarios aimed at supporting them grow exponentially, the large attack surface created by the interconnectivity of millions of these devices is a concerning aspect that needs to be addressed with i...
A Multimodal sensor analysis framework for vehicular mobile applications Orhan, Fatih; Eren, Pekin Erhan; Department of Information Systems (2013) The sensing, computing and communicating capabilities of smart phones bring new possibilities for creating remarkable applications increasing the quality, safety, comfort, economy and other capabilities of cars. However, many challenges exist regarding the development of multimodal sensor analysis applications, such as proper collection of sensor values, integration of diverse libraries and tools for sharing the results. This study focuses on these challenges and aims to construct a framework that enables e...
A Decision Support System for Optimal Selection of Enterprise Information Security Preventative Actions Sonmez, Ferda Ozdemir; Günel Kılıç, Banu (2021-09-01) Types and complexity of information security related vulnerabilities are growing rapidly and present numerous challenges to the enterprises. One of the key challenges is to identify the optimal set of precautions with limited budget. Despite the fact that majority of enterprises have a budget constraint for installing and maintaining the protection systems, the majority of the previous work only focus on prioritization of security targets and do not consider the preventative actions and budget constraints. ...
Examining place attachment from a foursquare perspective Öz, Bilgehan Kürşad; Taşkaya Temizel, Tuğba; Department of Information Systems (2014) The aim of the study is to understand the relationship between self-reported place attachment and attachment measured by means of mobile applications that provide location-based services. To meet this end, a survey is conducted to measure place attachment and participants are asked about the places they prefer under certain categories, their attachments to these places, and properties of these places. In the second part of the study, participants’ Foursquare log data is collected which includes their checki...
A Conceptual Model for a Metric Based Framework for the Monitoring of Information Security Tasks’ Efficiency Sönmez, Ferda Özdemir (Elsevier BV; 2019) Information Security Governance Systems are not adequate to measure the effectiveness and efficiency of security tasks for the enterprises. Although some of the systems offer ways for measurement, they still need the definition of measurement objectives and metrics. This study proposes a conceptual framework mode which has human and tool/process related metrics. This system also allows the collection of evidence data for security-related tasks and ways to motivate the security staff to provide a more produc...
