Summary
This study identifies key knowledge areas and best practices for enhancing information security culture (ISC) in universities. It provides a taxonomy to organize ISC aspects, aiding researchers and practitioners in developing effective security models.
Area of Science:
- Information Security Culture
- Higher Education Cybersecurity
- Organizational Security Practices
Background:
- Growing interest in security culture globally.
- Existing cybersecurity frameworks lack specific focus on university ISC.
- Limited academic research on information security culture in higher education.
Purpose of the Study:
- Examine Information Security Culture (ISC) in universities.
- Identify essential knowledge areas (KAs) for ISC.
- Analyze best practices (BPs) for promoting security culture in universities.
- Develop a taxonomy for organizing ISC aspects in university settings.
Main Methods:
- Multivocal Literature Review (MLR) approach.
- Scrutinized 81 primary studies from formal and grey literature (2010-2024).
Main Results:
- Identified 12 main knowledge areas (KAs).
- Identified 76 best practice areas.
- Established a comprehensive taxonomy of security culture in universities.
Conclusions:
- Findings assist researchers and practitioners in developing ISC models.
- Highlights areas for further research and development in university security culture.

01:21Role-Based Identity
175
Role-based identities are central to understanding how individuals navigate social environments by adopting distinct self-conceptions aligned with various societal roles. These identities are not fixed traits but are constructed through personal actions and the social feedback individuals receive in context-specific interactions. Each social role, such as student, teacher, or friend, carries a set of expectations and norms that influence how people think, feel, and behave within that...

01:24Microbial Classification System
974
Classification is the process of organizing organisms into hierarchically inclusive groups based on their phenotypic similarities or evolutionary relationships. A species comprises one or more strains, and closely related species are grouped into genera. Genera are further classified into families, families into orders, orders into classes, and so forth, up to the domain level, which is the broadest taxonomic rank derived from a combination of phenotypic and genotypic data.The nomenclature of...

During the 1950s, the landmark Robbers Cave experiment demonstrated that when groups must compete with one another, intergroup conflict, hostility, and even violence may result. At the Oklahoman summer camp, two troops of boys—termed the Rattlers and the Eagles—took part in a week-long tournament. During this time, their negativity culminated in derogatory name-calling, fistfights, and even vandalism and destruction of property. However, this work also revealed that such tension...

An Incident or Occurrence Report in a healthcare setting is a crucial document used to record any unexpected occurrence that may or may not have affected a patient, employee, or visitor. Such reports are critical to improving patient safety and include all details leading up to and including the event.
Purposes:
In the healthcare industry, reports play a crucial role in documenting incidents within an agency. The primary objective of these reports is to ensure patient safety, uphold the...

Continuous-time systems have continuous input and output signals, with time measured continuously. These systems are generally defined by differential or algebraic equations. For instance, in an RC circuit, the relationship between input and output voltage is expressed through a differential equation derived from Ohm's law and the capacitor relation,

01:54Attitudes

Attitude is our evaluation of a person, an idea, or an object. We have attitudes for many things ranging from products that we might pick up in the supermarket to people around the world to political policies. Typically, attitudes are favorable or unfavorable: positive or negative (Eagly & Chaiken, 1993). And, they have three components: an affective component (feelings), a behavioral component (the effect of the attitude on behavior), and a cognitive component (belief and knowledge;...
