cyber threats continue to grow at an exponential rate, the need for training in
information security awareness spreads far beyond the Information Technology
college curriculum. Information Security proliferates into various domains of
knowledge and becomes more context-aware. Consequently, the training in
information awareness at a college level must cater more specifically to
students’ practices. This paper presents the results of the Information
Security survey conducted among students of the College of Business and
Economics at California State University, Los Angeles in spring 2011. The
survey revealed several characteristics of students’ practices and their
awareness of risks and countermeasures related to computer skills, mobile
computing, loss and encryption of data, online social networking, awareness
training, correlation between practice and awareness, and others. The survey
also revealed that the major problem with security awareness is not due to a
lack of security knowledge, but in the way the students apply that knowledge in
real-world situations. Simply, the compliance with information security
awareness is lower than the understanding of it. The findings discussed in this
paper are provided to assist colleges in designing curriculum that includes
more context-based Information Security training.</span></p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">

negatively affected in the stock market.</span></p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">

privacy and data sharing are two conflicting but important data management
concerns. As more data are shared among stakeholders, the design of information
systems (IS) often emphasizes on data sharing at the expense of information
privacy. Unfortunately, existing IS research on designing tools to enhance
information privacy is isolated from actual use of the tools. In this research,
we examined the design of a data sharing system in a real-world company. The
company, Ricerro Communications, Inc., produces and markets wearable
communications devices used mainly in healthcare organizations. Poor data
sharing in Ricerro</span><span style><font face="Calibri">’</font></span><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman"">s multiple
systems resulted in loss of information privacy and security and inefficiency,
seriously affecting customer relationship management. A consulting team has
analyzed Ricerro</span><span style><font face="Calibri">’</font></span><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman"">s needs,
gathered stakeholder requirements, and developed a privacy-enhancing data
integration solution, which consists of database schema integration and data migration
from various sources to a Web-based transaction processing system. Through this
industry case, we illustrate how our developed principles and guidelines for
designing IT artifacts</span><span style><font face="Calibri"> </font></span><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman"">incorporate
the benefits of information privacy and data sharing.</span></font></p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">
