Abstract The use of cloud services, web-based software systems, the Internet of Things (IoT), Machine Learning (ML), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and other wireless sensor devices in the health sector has resulted in significant advancements and benefits. Early disease detection, increased accessibility, and high diagnostic reach have all been made possible by digital healthcare. Despite this remarkable achievement, healthcare data protection has become a serious issue for all parties involved. According to data breach statistics, the healthcare data industry is one of the major threats to cyber criminals. In reality, healthcare data breaches have increased at an alarming rate in recent years.… More >

Abstract The outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2 virus or COVID-19) disease was declared pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) on March 11, 2020. COVID-19 has already affected more than 211 nations. In such a bleak scenario, it becomes imperative to analyze and identify those regions in Saudi Arabia that are at high risk. A preemptive study done in the context of predicting the possible COVID-19 hotspots would facilitate in the implementation of prompt and targeted countermeasures against SARS-CoV-2, thus saving many lives. Working towards this intent, the present study adopts a decision making based methodology of… More >

Abstract Ever since its outbreak in the Wuhan city of China, COVID-19 pandemic has engulfed more than 211 countries in the world, leaving a trail of unprecedented fatalities. Even more debilitating than the infection itself, were the restrictions like lockdowns and quarantine measures taken to contain the spread of Coronavirus. Such enforced alienation affected both the mental and social condition of people significantly. Social interactions and congregations are not only integral part of work life but also form the basis of human evolvement. However, COVID-19 brought all such communication to a grinding halt. Digital interactions have failed to enthuse the fervor… More >

Abstract Most of the security strategies today are primarily designed to provide security protection, rather than to solve one of the basic security issues related to adequate software product architecture. Several models, frameworks and methodologies have been introduced by the researchers for a secure and sustainable software development life cycle. Therefore it is important to assess the usability of the popular security requirements engineering (SRE) approaches. A significant factor in the management and handling of successful security requirements is the assessment of security requirements engineering method performance. This assessment will allow changes to the engineering process of security requirements. The consistency… More >

Abstract Security risk evaluation of web-based healthcare applications is important from a design perspective. The developers as well as the users need to make sure that the applications must be secure. Citing the disastrous effects of unsecured web applications, Accuntix Online states that the IT industry has lost millions of dollars due to security theft and malware attacks. Protecting the integrity of patients’ health data is of utmost importance. Thus, assessing the security risk of web-based healthcare applications should be accorded the highest priority while developing the web applications. To fulfill the security requirements, the developers must meticulously follow the Multi-Criteria… More >

Abstract In a digital world moving at a breakneck speed, consultancy services have emerged as one of the prominent resources for seeking effective, sustainable and economically viable solutions to a given crisis. The present day consultancy services are aided by the use of multiple tools and techniques. However, ensuring the security of these tools and techniques is an important concern for the consultants because even a slight malfunction of any tool could alter the results drastically. Consultants usually tackle these functions after establishing the clients’ needs and developing the appropriate strategy. Nevertheless, most of the consultants tend to focus more on… More >

Abstract In the recent years, the booming web-based applications have attracted the hackers’ community. The security risk of the web-based hospital management system (WBHMS) has been increasing rapidly. In the given context, the main goal of all security professionals and website developers is to maintain security divisions and improve on the user’s confidence and satisfaction. At this point, the different WBHMS tackle different types of security risks. In WBHMS, the security of the patients’ medical information is of utmost importance. All in all, there is an inherent security risk of data and assets in the field of the medical industry as… More >

Abstract Design architecture is the edifice that strengthens the functionalities as well as the security of web applications. In order to facilitate architectural security from the web application’s design phase itself, practitioners are now adopting the novel mechanism of security tactics. With the intent to conduct a research from the perspective of security tactics, the present study employs a hybrid multi-criteria decision-making approach named fuzzy analytic hierarchy process-technique for order preference by similarity ideal solution (AHP-TOPSIS) method for selecting and assessing multi-criteria decisions. The adopted methodology is a blend of fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (fuzzy AHP) and fuzzy technique for order… More >

Abstract Usability and security are often considered contradictory in nature. One has a negative impact on the other. In order to satisfy the needs of users with the security perspective, the relationship and trade-offs among security and usability must be distinguished. Security practitioners are working on developing new approaches that would help to secure healthcare web applications as well increase usability of the web applications. In the same league, the present research endeavour is premised on the usable-security of healthcare web applications. For a compatible blend of usability and security that would fulfill the users’ requirments, this research proposes an integration… More >
