Abstract: This study presents an integrated information processing model of phishing susceptibility grounded in prior research in information process and interpersonal deception. The model is refined and validated on a sample of intended victims of an actual phishing attack. The data provides strong support for the model’s theoretical structure and causative sequence, explaining close to fifty percent of the variance in individual phishing susceptibility. The results indicate that most phishing emails are peripherally processed and individuals make decisions based on simple cues embedded in the email. Interestingly, urgency cues in the email stimulated increased information processing thereby short circuiting the resources available for attending to other cues that could potentially help detect the deception. Additionally, the findings suggest that habitual patterns of media use combined with high levels of email load have a strong and significant influence on individuals’ likelihood to be phished. Consistent with social cognitive theory, computer self-efficacy was found to significantly influence elaboration, but its influence was mitigated by domain specific-knowledge. The presentation covers the model, its tests, the findings of the study, as well as the ways in which individuals can reduce their susceptibility to phishing based deception.

3  General Category / Job Opportunities / ISiM Special Lecture - 16 by Todd Barlow on: June 03, 2011, 02:08:26 pm
ISiM Special Lecture (16)

User Experience Design for Enterprise Software
International School of information Management (ISiM) is organizing a Special Lecture on “User Experience Design for Enterprise Software” on 4th June 2011 : 3:30pm by Dr. Todd Barlow, Director of Usability and User Interface Design,
SAS Business Analytics and Business Intelligence Software, USA.
Special Lecture Abstract :
Enterprise software development presents unique challenges to delivering a high quality user experience. A large organization's work involves multiple users, in different roles, interacting with each other over long periods. The work is guided by business rules within the organization and, sometimes, by government regulations. Software designed to support these organizations (enterprise software) differs from the single-user commercial, off-the-shelf software with which most people are familiar. Producing a high quality user experience for enterprise software users requires understanding and managing:
The influence the latest HCI research, emerging UI design patterns, and interactive technology trends on the user experience, The influence of legacy UI design and development on new product design, The role of ideation, sketching, and prototyping, Fitting user-centered design into an agile development process, The overlapping roles of user experience professionals, product managers, development managers, and user interface developers, The difference between the software's end user and the buyer, The influence of an organization's IT department
 …And many more factors.
Dr. Barlow will describe the role of user experience professionals in enterprise software development, the problems they encounter, the tools and skills necessary to deliver usable software.
Speaker Profile :
Todd Barlow is Director of Usability and User Interface Design at SAS. He is responsible for the usability of SAS software, establishing usability engineering practices, and defining the role of usability in development processes. He is also an adjunct faculty member in the School of Information and Library Science at the University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill where he teaches undergraduate and graduate courses in human-computer interaction. Prior to working at SAS, he worked as a consultant designing and evaluating interfaces for consumer electronics, weapon systems, and telecommunication software. He holds a B.S.I.D. from the Georgia Institute of Technology, a B.A. from the University of Maryland, an M.S. from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and a Ph.D. in psychology from North Carolina State University.

Workshop Details
Context and relevance:

Combating terrorism has occupied centre-stage across governments, security agencies, policy makers, academia, industry and society at large for obvious and understandable reasons. In the academic and industry circles, past decade has witnessed significant interest in security-related research in a wide range of applications spanning across national and international security, economic and societal security, and including personal and community security. Academic disciplines especially centered on Information Technologies   such as information and computer sciences, information systems, human-computer studies, technology adoption, and policy studies have made rapid progress in developing and evaluating customized frameworks, methodologies, techniques, and systems to meet specific information processing and knowledge management challenges of “security” and “Intelligence”.  An emerging field of cross-disciplinary study, called the Intelligence and Security Informatics (ISI), encompassing these efforts through an integrated technological, organizational, and policy-based approach has evolved. This multidiscipline is shaped by research and applications in fields from data/text/web mining to knowledge management to cognitive science to social psychology. The emergent field also has spawned professional societies and conferences, to build a professional community -

This emergent field has good prospects for and demands best of the young minds to expand and strengthen the domain and help contribute to the end goal of Secure and Smart society. The Workshop would help achieve this goal.

The Summer School on ISI 2010 will provide a learning platform for students and professionals, who focus on ISI research. We believe that this summer school will enrich the understanding of the emerging domain of ISI.
