Computer Security in Saudi Arabia
This is an excerpt from the paper...
This study, in a quite general sense, concerned computer security. Computer security, however, all too often is perceived as a set of procedures designed to foil efforts designed to gain unlawful access to electronic information systems. Data stored in electronic information systems, however, may be lost, damaged, or compromised by means other that the actions of individuals gaining illegal access to such systems. Both natural and manmade disasters, although low probability in character, hold the potential to cause high level data loss and damage. Thus, the prudent administrator or manager will devise and implement some sort of plan to protect information systems against the effects of such events. In this sense, therefore, this study, also in a somewhat general sense, was concerned with data recovery planning for electronic information systems.Data recovery planning, however, provided only the environmental context for this study. The research focus of this study was the attitudes of administrators and managers toward data recovery planning for electronic information systems. Specifically, the twofold purpose of this study was to develop a methodology, or model, to facilitate the (1) measurement of the attitudes of administrators and managers toward data recovery planning associated with low probability/high loss potential events, and (2) the manipulation of such attitudes, where desirable, to enhance the security and integrity of electronic information systems.

section. The procedures are described and explained in the contexts of (1) sample selection, (2) attitude measurement and instrumentation, (3) video presentation (intervention), (4) risk analysis (intervention), and (5) combined video presentation and risk analysis (intervention).
Sample Selection
Seven institutions of higher education within Saudi Arabia were selected as the participating organizations (entities) for this study. These institutions were all similar in size and scope of operations, and all had major electronic information systems in place and functioning. The senior administrators and managers responsible for the management of information systems at the institutions, together with operational level information system managers at the institutions, constituted the research population for this study. The research sample for this study was comprised of two clusters (1) the senior administrators and managers, and (2) the operational level administrators and managers.
Within the population segment for each participating institution, random procedures were employed to select 10 senior level managers and 10 operational level managers. Thus, a total of 70 respondents were included in the senior level cluster, and 70
