The increase in Web services and online operations for various industries and critical businesses has led to an increase in different threats and malicious activities. The security community have witnessed a significant increase in security threats, violations and spread of different types of malware. Therefore, critical industries must keep their operational environment secure and resilient against constantly evolving cyber threats. This is to maintain the safety of workers, industrial assets as well as the communities they serve. Recent advances in the fields of cyber security and technology development are a key factor in the growth of security services and operations. There are several strong strands of research and interest that are developing in the area including the understanding of threats and risks to information systems, the development of a strong security culture, as well as incident detection and post incident investigation.
Video: Positive Deviance
A collection of videos on Positive Deviance.
Positive Deviance (PD) is an approach to behavioral and social change based on the observation that in every community there are individuals or groups of people (so called Positive Deviants) whose behaviours and strategies enable them to find better solutions to problems than their peers even though they have access to the same resources and face similar challenges.
In the international development and health sectors, PD has been used to address issues as diverse as childhood malnutrition, neo-natal mortality, girl trafficking, school drop-out, female genital mutilation (FGM), MRSA infections in hospitals and HIV/AIDS.
