Handbook of Research on Cybersecurity Issues and Challenges for Business and FinTech Applications

Digital transformation in organizations optimizes the business processes but also brings additional challenges in the form of security threats and vulnerabilities. Cyberattacks incur financial losses for organizations and can affect their reputations. Due to this, cybersecurity has become critical for business enterprises. Extensive technological adoption in businesses and the evolution of FinTech applications require reasonable cybersecurity measures to protect organizations from internal and external security threats. Recent advances in the cybersecurity domain such as zero trust architecture, application of machine learning, and quantum and post-quantum cryptography have colossal potential to secure technological infrastructures. The Handbook of Research on Cybersecurity Issues and Challenges for Business and FinTech Applications discusses theoretical foundations and empirical studies of cybersecurity implications in global digital transformation and considers cybersecurity challenges in diverse business areas. Covering essential topics such as artificial intelligence, social commerce, and data leakage, this reference work is ideal for cybersecurity professionals, business owners, managers, policymakers, researchers, scholars, academicians, practitioners, instructors, and students.

Most banks are now adopting FinTech due to personalizing offerings, generating new income streams, improving customer service, and targeting cross-selling (Kumari & Devi, 2022) (Aaron et al., 2017). Now digital banking is moving towards ...

Integral Finance – Akhuwat

A Case Study of the Solidarity Economy

There are many misconceptions and concerns regarding Islamic societies and how Muslim countries have failed to come up with their own localised solutions to socio-economic problems in dealing with poverty alleviation and societal development. This book explores why there is so much disconnect between spirituality and enterprise development in the world today, and how a part of the Islamic world, in fact located in Pakistan, can be part of the solution rather than being central to the problem. This book builds upon Ronnie Lessem and Alexander Schieffer’s theory of ‘integral dynamics’ which works through a fourfold rhythm of the GENE. Set against a mono-cultural perspective, the authors highlight the ever-increasing and deepening divide between Western and Islamic cultures. Through the course of the book, the authors use the transformational GENE (Grounding, Emergence, Navigation, Effect) rhythm developed by Lessem and Schieffer to take readers through the 4C (Call, Context, Co-creation and Contribution) process, articulated to CAREing-4-Society. They ground their call in Akhuwat’s community of Akhuwateers (donors, beneficiaries, borrowers, volunteers and replicators), to explore alternative models of spiritually based finance through an emerging SOUL-idarity paradigm. Furthermore, through these models and Akhuwat’s CARE (Community, Awareness, Research, Embodiment) process, they put forward that encouraging community activism, raising awareness around Islamic practices of Qard-e-Hasan, institutionalising their innovative research, and finally transforming and educating the community, will provide an alternative to microfinance for poverty alleviation. Showcasing an unconventional spiritual-financial solution, deeply immersed in spirituality and infused with local moral values and traditions, this book demonstrates how poverty can be alleviated in countries around the world, specifically, in developing Muslim countries.

Agenda Setting Role of Media in Pakistan

We all are having pistures of the world in our minds. We have never seen a lot of places with our eyes but even then we have their pictures in our minds. Of course, these pictures have been created by Media in our minds. Agenda Setting is one of the most important media theories of the present times. The concept of agenda setting took its name from the idea that the mass media have the ability to carry the salience of items on their news agendas and then transfer it to the public agenda. Agenda Setting theory of Media states that with the passage of time, media agennda becomes the public agenda. According to the agenda-setting theory, because of the fact of paying attention to some issues and neglecting and ignoring some others, the mass media will have an effect on public opinion. People will be inclined to know about those issues and things, which are highlighted by the mass media and they adopt the order of priority assigned to different issues. This book is based on the first ever research study coducted in Pakistan regarding the agenda setting role of Media.
