Investigating Cybersecurity Awareness in SME Organisations
2021
Master's thesis in Cyber security (IS507) Cyberattack incidents against small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) increase nowadays, thus cybersecurity awareness is becoming an important issue to enhance the security of the SME organisations. However, despite the importance of cybersecurity awareness in many organisations including SMEs, such awareness is not yet fully absorbed as day-to-day practice in organisations.In this study, we have investigated cybersecurity awareness in small to medium-sized organisations (SMEs) in Norway. The purpose of this study is to provide knowledge, empirical data and relevant literature about cybersecurity awareness for SMEs that operate with security protoc…
Otnetic: A Cyber Range Training Platform Developed for the Norwegian Energy Sector
2021
Master's thesis in Cyber security (IS507) As cyber attacks have become increasingly frequent and complex, the need for effective cyber security training has become essential. This master thesis was developed in collaboration with the client organization NC-Spectrum, with the objective of developing an alternative training program utilizing cyber ranges and gamified training for OT-personnel in the Nor-wegian energy sector. The need additional training was identified by the client organization initially, and reinforced through the findings from the literature review and interviews conducted as part of this thesis. Current training methods commonly use one-way communication, which has been sh…
Resilience in Critical infrastructure within the energy sector of Norway
2021
Master's thesis in Cyber security (IS507) This thesis investigates what are the characteristics of resilience within the energy sector, as well as what are the "best” known practices being used to increase awareness of the employees. By looking at the existing literature and finding differences between how the energy sector in Norway vs other nations approaches resilience. There is a difference in Norway's more decentralized power grid, where many smaller power stations supply energy, compared to other nation with single large power station. This influences how they will approach resilience. The study uses a qualitative research approach, with semi-structured interviews to gather data from …
The expectations and perceived usefulness to a future secure "net-health" portal for patients with chronic diseases
2006
Masteroppgave i informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi 2006 - Høgskolen i Agder, Grimstad The recent advancements in technology are constantly changing the way healthcare is practiced and delivered. The number of patients receiving treatment at home will increase. The Internet as a source of information and a tool for electronic communication empowers the patient and put demands on the healthcare profession to allow the patient’s active participation and control of his own situation. Putting the patient in the centre, the main focus in this study will be asking the patients what they will need in future services concerning communication between healthcare personnel and themselves, within …
Exploring the Gender Digital Divide in E-Government Use in a Developing Country
2020
This article explores the gender digital divide in e-government use in Turkey. Historical trends and differences in internet and e-government use by males and females are investigated. The findings of this study indicate that although internet use has increased over the years, there remains a steady and significant gap between males and females in terms of internet use and e-government services use. It appears that females in Turkey tend to be on the wrong side of the digital divide, and a significant number of females do not benefit from the potential advantages of the internet and e-government services. The gender digital gap in e-government use is higher than in internet use.
Sikkert valgsystem over Internett
2001
Masteroppgave i informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi 2001 - Høgskolen i Agder, Grimstad Det har i de siste årene vært en økende interesse for å utvikle sikre valgsystem over Internett. Allerede i 1869 fikk Thomas Edison patent på et elektronisk valg apparat, men det var derimot ingen den gang som ville kjøpe oppfinnelsen hans. Et elektronisk valgsystem må oppfylle en del sikkerhets krav før det kan implementeres i en valgsammenheng. Hovedoppgaven ser på en del grunnleggende ideer for valgprotokoller, og på valgprotokoller som er brukt i eksisterende system i dag. Et ideelt valgsystem inneholder følgende karakteristiske trekk: Anonymitet, Demokrati, Fleksibilitet, Kontrollerbarhet, Mobil…
Big Data and Data Ownership Rights: The Case of Car Insurance
2022
Customers’ data points sources are growing, through the Internet of Things (IoT), telematics and interfacing with third parties’ platforms. Third parties provide either by-product data about their clients, or data that are generated for the specific task of a more accurate measurement of behaviour. One of the core building blocks in insurance is understanding risk – therefore, innovation around data points (sources and analytics) to proxy risk is the engine behind its digital transformation. While the value of data points is clear for the providers of insurance products and services, the customers have not only less control over their data, but also hardly benefit from the creation of thos…
Veien fra Bee-Bot til Scratch : En casestudie om hvilke kunnskaper elevene sitter igjen med etter å ha prøvd to ulike programmeringsverktøy
2019
Masteroppgave matematikkdidaktikk MA502 – Universitetet i Agder 2019 The way from Bee-Bot to Scratchis a case study that looks at what competencies the pupilsmanage to pass from anobject programminglanuageto a computer-based programming language.Because programming comes under the core elements of mathematics in the new curriculum that is initiated in the autumn of 2020, I have chosen this research question: "Can the pupils' programming knowledgefrom Bee-Bot be transferred to Scratch in a mathematics session,focusing on computational thinkingand creativity?" The study therefore focusesat howmuch of the various topicsemerge and which competences the pupils manage to pass on from the programm…
Design of a VR application for pilots as a complementary tool for procedure training of Abnormal Operations
2021
Master's thesis in Multimedia and educational technology (MM506) The aviation industry has been amongst the early adopters of VR for educational purposes, even since the very beginning of VR’s technology establishment and throughout its further development. Flight simulators are invaluable as they let pilots and instructors replicate any situation for learning full control over the plane and improve situational awareness without paying the price of life-safety if using an actual aircraft. Abnormal operations and their procedures are a key subject of safety training, where pilots have to understand and memorize particular orders of actions in order to solve a dangerous situation on board. A …
VR formidling av en kunstnerisk opplevelse : Dette prosjektet er en interaktiv kunstinstallasjon laget i VR for Sørlandets Kunstmuseum
2021
Master's thesis in Multimedia and educational technology (MM506) I denne masteroppgaven har vi laget en VR-simulering for Sørlandets Kunstmuseum i Kristiansand. Ønsket med denne formidlingen var å vekke kunstinteressen hos publikum og undersøke om dette kan være et medium som kan bidra til økt museumsbesøk. Prosjektet har tatt utgangspunkt i fire verk som er malt av den norske kunstneren Reidar Aulie. Det har blitt utført en metodetriangulering brukeranalyse med VR-simuleringen og tradisjonell kunst, som har vært med på å dra sammenligninger mellom de to ulikeformidlingene. Dette har vært med på å bekrefte eller avkrefte vår hypotese; Bruk av VR i formidling av kunst vil bidra til større in…
