Proposed Title: Data Integrity Threats to Organizations
Abstract
Data integrity, an integral aspect of cyber security, is identified as the consistence and accuracy that is assured of data in its life cycle, and is an imperative aspect of implementation, design, and utilization of systems which processes, stores, and retrieves data (Graham, 2017). It is estimated that almost 90 percent of the world’s data was generated in the last two year, and this goes to show the rate at which data is being availed. There are various threats associated with data integrity, for example, security, human, and transfer errors, cyber-attacks and malware just to name a few. The purpose of examination of data integrity in the context of organizations and business is due to the impact that it has on the latter’s operations and eventual success.
Data integrity is important when it comes to the productivity and operations of an organization, because management make decisions based on real-time data that is offered to them. If the data presented to management is inaccurate due to lack of proper data integrity, then the decisions that they make might have an adverse effect on an organization. For example, if data related to last year’s projections and profits in the finance department is altered in any way, then the decision of making plans in relation to an organization’s financial position might be lead to further losses. Organizations ought to prioritize security measures through there various Information Systems departments or by seeking third party cyber security specialties to protect and mitigate against the threats related to data integrity.
Outline of the Proposed Research
What are the threats associated with data integrity and the impact they have on organizational productivity and operations?
Background
Data plays an integral role in today’s business environment especially when most organizations are harnessing the benefits of data to facilitate their decision-making processes. It is through understanding why and how data is important in business that one may also comprehend the importance of ensuring the integrity of this same data is upheld. Most individual think that data security and integrity are one and the same thing, which is not true, as security refers to leaking of information such as intellectual property and healthcare documents, whereas data integrity refers to the process of ensuring whether data is trustworthy to facilitate the decision-making process.
Due to the lack of proper systems and structures to ensure that data integrity is at the helm of an organization’s priorities, management has found it difficult to solely rely on data and analytics to facilitate their decision-making process. What this means is that a significant number of businesses are missing out on the advantages accorded through aspects such ...

Introduction to Information Technology—Role in Nursing and Healthcare
In this module, we begin with an introduction to information technology and the management of information. The readings in this module identify the many areas in healthcare in which information technology is used. The fundamental of healthcare delivery is an important start to our course. Information technology is used in such healthcare facilities as ambulatory care, acute care, and subacute care. The different methods and means each healthcare facility uses and manages information technology is outlined in our readings. Healthcare providers such as direct care providers, clinical allied professionals, and other organizations (i.e., American Medical Association, American Nurses Association) all use technology to guide delivery of care, information, and manage these deliveries for various reasons (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2015).
Introduction
As an information-intensive profession, nursing continues to use information technology in healthcare. Nurses use information in applying knowledge to problems, and acting with wisdom forming the basis of the professional of nursing. The availability of this information in caring for patients continues to grow for nurses and allows for increased accessibility, accuracy, and timeliness in caring for patients. The information age is here for nursing and the U.S. healthcare system (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2015). In this module, an introduction to information technology (IT), .

Healthcare's Vulnerability to Ransomware Attacks
Research question: To what extent is the healthcare system vulnerable to ransomware attacks?
This research aims to explain how the healthcare sector can become vulnerable to ransomware attacks. It will also discuss how the ransomware topic can influence practice. Methods and relevance for computer nursing to secure health information technology will be reviewed. Ransomware is a cyber-attack form that can damage a company and its IT infrastructure. A ransomware attack is a criminal cyber-attack using malware or software that blackmails a company to gain a money lift from its systems (Slayton, 2018). The software can delete personal data from computer systems except when a payment is made, and the cyber attacker provides the decryption key for unlocking the system. Many types of ransomware are available, and Intel Corp's McAfee Labs predict that these attacks will continue and their prevalence will increase. Comment by Mary Lind: nursing makes no sense here Comment by Mary Lind: what do you mean by form? Comment by Mary Lind: what is a money lift? Comment by Mary Lind: what software - the ransomware can delete anythign
This study examines the motivation of healthcare professionals to use theoretical protection theory (PMT) and deterrence theory to adopt security measures against ransomware attacks in a hospital setting (Rogers, 1975). These include perceived severe threats and perceived fear-mediated vulnerability. Misfitting rewards and reaction costs both have an important negative impact on motivation for protection. Effectiveness as a major coping factor is demonstrated. The results help to utilize fear and PMT in ransomware threats to influence protection motivation for healthcare devices. Comment by Mary Lind: for computers users in the hospital.
Target population
This research targets healthcare professionals, patients, and the general population because of the constant vulnerability of healthcare systems to ransomware attacks.
Methodology
In this research, we analyze the Healthcare's Vulnerability to Ransomware Attacks using quantitative research. Research involves healthcare professionals, patients, and the general population. The research will also review the safeguards that healthcare system users have implemented. Data will be analyzed via the Variance Analysis (ANOVA) various hypotheses that arise in the course of the research.
Findings
This makes the medical industry extremely sensitive to this criminal cyber-attack like ransomware due to advances in technology and extensive use of electronic medical documents. Many hospitals, such as Erie County Medical Center, have recently been affected by ransomware (ECMC). In April 2017, ECMC was affected by a ranking attack that shut down its IT systems after refusing to pay $30,000 to unlock it. Following the attack, they were obliged to return to the paper charts and maintained power outage operations by introducing urgent plans. Ransomwar ...
Confidentiality
The document discusses the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996, which established standards for privacy and security of protected health information. It outlines key aspects of HIPAA including the Privacy Rule, which establishes conditions for using and disclosing personal health information, and the Security Rule, which requires covered entities to protect electronic protected health information. It also discusses HIPAA safeguards such as physical, administrative and technical safeguards that covered entities must implement to ensure security of protected health information.
Security Culture, Top Management, and Training on Security Effectiveness: A C...
The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationships between four variables (predictive constructs of top management, awareness and training, security culture, and task interdependence) and an information program's security effectiveness. The difference between this study and previous research is the exclusion of information technology (IT) security professionals with Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) certifications. In contrast, participants in previous research were IT professionals with CISSP certifications. The research question asked to what extent is there a statistically significant correlation between each of the four predictive constructs and security effectiveness. This study made the same correlational determination between the independent variables and the dependent variable construct using a study population of 155 Information Systems Audit and Control Association (ISACA) members. This study used structural equation modeling (SEM) techniques to analyze relationships. The same previously used instruments were reused to reassess these particular participants. The results of SEM revealed that there was a significant relationship between security culture and security effectiveness. Similarly, significant relationships were found between top management, awareness and training, security culture, and security effectiveness, which repeated similar findings from previous research. A post hoc test was conducted using path analysis to reaffirm the direct causal relationship between security culture and security effectiveness that was also previously researched with similar results. The results demonstrated that security culture is a significant influence regardless of the participants' perception of a security professional with or without CISSP certification. The implications of this can greatly affect reorganizational structure changes focused on developing security culture as an investment and a much-targeted construct focused on by future researchers. This could result in humandepartments or functional managers realigning staff positions to concentrate on spreading security culture among fellow employees who affect cybersecurity either directly or indirectly in the workplace.

Effectiveness of Health Care IT Systems
Information technology has transformed almost all the sectors, and health care is a sector where technology has worked to improve efficiency and productivity. The quality of services offered to patients and the ease of storing and retrieving patient information. Information technology has further enhanced the security of information with data encryption. Despite these huge benefits of IT in technology, officers within the health system have a huge role in ensuring that healthcare IT system is efficient.
Question 1
The chief information officer and the chief technology officer are two roles that are related but important within the healthcare setting. The CIO is responsible for developing and advancing technology use in healthcare facilities. The CIO has to involve all health officers with the use of IT systems to improve the quality of services. CIOs work by identifying critical areas and creating roles for healthcare personnel. The CTO on the other monitors the development of technologies in the market and identify those that can be useful in health care (Sultz & Young, 2013). The person in charge is more knowledgeable on technology issues as they evaluate and determine technologies that can better healthcare provision. Together with the CIO, the CTO can help in the evaluation of technologies to determine if they will offer value for investment before advising the management on the right path to pursue.
The CIO and CTO have expert knowledge of IT infrastructure and are therefore better placed in helping staff in enhancing patient satisfaction. The two identify training needs for all the staff that ensure that the staff understands how to use IT systems. They can additionally provide real-time help to clients using the web portal of the hospital (Kellermann & Jones, 2013). They can additionally come up with real-time phone calls whenever staff and patients need help. The main role in which the two is to improve communication with the staff so that IT infrastructure can be fully utilized.
Question 2
Several technologies have come up with the goal of lowering costs and improving the quality of health services. The main technology mHealth has transformed health care by allowing people to access health services through remote devices. The power of this technology is on access to health information through smartphones and tablets. Physicians can be able to access patient’s health information and offer expert advice to the patient (Boudreaux et al., 2014). The interconnection provided by mHealth promotes the participation of patients towards their treatment. The interconnection to different databases has allowed patients to monitor things like blood pressure remotely without visiting the hospitals. It is through this t ...
